| Is it possible to rotate the table like a 90 degree? We are planning to purchase a DYMO LabeWriter to do some labeling by using Reporting Services. Not sure if I need to set my report so the text rotate 90 degree from it's current position or will it automatically do it from the LabelWriter itself. |

The labelwriter will not do it on its own, you will have to perform some manually adjusting of text direction and page width / height.

| See the thing is I'm not sure how to set it so that it will be rotate 90 degree. Any ideas?For example a text like:------------------------------------------Needs to rotate to look like:||||||||||||||||So the text is turn right about 90 degrees to go on the LabelWriter. |

| There's a text direction and writing mode in the advance section of the textbox properties. However I can only set to LTR(left to right) or RTL(right to left) and mode LR-TB(Left right and top bottom) and TB-RL(top bottom and right to left). These does not produce the result i'm looking for which is to rotate the text 90 degree right. |

Right but there is no option for that, the printer or whatever your using should be able to rotate the text.I dont know if that one you mentioned in particular will do that for you. The only thing I can think of is creating a landscape type report...but that wont fit your needs.Sorry I dont have a better answer.

| I found a SDK from their website that lets me create a program in VB and then print out the results. Yes, I talked to one of the salesrep and he said that you can set it when you go print. So if the report doesn't work, then I still have the SDK package to work with.Thanks. |
