Fred,
Better than a "poke in the eye with a sharp stick".
Thanks,
Bill

Is there a way to control the text baseline in a
label control? I'd like to place the text centered
vertically within a label control. As it is, the text
is placed slightly off the bottom of the label
boarder.
Thanks,

Access does not have an auto vertical centering capability.
What you can do is set the label control's top and/or bottom margin
property to adjust where the text will appear in the label. But it's a
hit or miss manual operation.
The properties are on the control's format tab.
