[AccessD] Vertical Label text orientation

[Ryan W]

LOL yeah, well... I've programmed this matrix report into our database /
front end. It breaks 28 years of precedence from our printed/excel matrix
report where the column headers are vertical but rotated counter
clockwise.  It's not a huge deal, but I was just trying to keep our digital
interpretation of the matrix report as close to 1:1 as I can get to the one
our clients have known forever.
