Strike-Out Text - Microsoft Access / VBA

Fred Zuckerman

It appears to me that "strike out" is not a font (I wonder why?). Anyway, I
have a report that has some detail lines that are not relevant. However I
still want them to show. So I'd like to have them appear as strike-out text.

I have only found one option so far. I put a horizontal line control in the
detail section of the report directly over the existing controls. Then, in
the Detail event, I turn the visible property on/off as needed.

Is this the method that others use? Is there a better way?

TIA,
Fred Zuckerman

Why not print them in a pale grey (assuming the stuff you really want is in
Black)?

Or make the fontsize smaller, or make it Italic, etc.
