[AccessD] Creating a Bulleted List

Rocky

...this works for me in an AXP test mdb ...gives an indented text box with a
bullet or an unindented text box without a bullet.

...in your report detail section, place an image control (imgImage0) with a
bullet image embedded ...to the left of it place your textbox (txtText1)
where you want the indent to start.

...place this in your reports cbf detail DetailFormat

Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
    If Reports!Report1.Controls!imgImage0.Visible = False Then
        Reports!Report1.Controls!txtText1.Move Left:=300
    Else
        MsgBox "duh"
    End If
End Sub

...adjust the move figure until it fits where you want it to reflect an
unindented text placement ...HTH :)
