Re: Change font on report

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it impossible to change the font in a
report field when in print preview (MDE database) or can it only be
done in design view in the MDB database.
Part of my database is used to print name tags for functions, and it
would be nice for the operator to have a choice of different fonts,
colours and backgrounds.
I have a copy of Terry Kreft and Stephen Lebans font selector mdb

Thanks

You can change the font (temporarily) using code in the various events of
the report itself. That means that you could give the user a means to
choose the font before they preview, but once opened in preview they would
have to close it, change the font choice, and then preview it again. You
cannot apply the change live on the preview window.
