In MS Access 2000, the text attributes in the properties panel for a label
or text control do not include any shadowed, embossed or etched option.

How do you get text to look etched (eg, to add a label to an etched
rectangle around a group of controls)?

Thanks

re: how to create shadowed or etched text


In the Switchboard, Microsoft use 2 Labels with exactly the same Text with
different ForeColor and slightly askew to create the shadow effect.

Check the design view of the Switchboard.
