Label rotation not being rotated - using a rotation property value on the feature

[MichaelHamsa]

Hello,

I've got an ArcMap Map Document that has several layers which are used for the placement of map annotations or labels. The feature class for these layer in the geodatabase has an "anno_string" field and a "rotation" field and I'm using the "anno_string" field and the "Label Field" and the "rotation" field as the label's placement property to "Place label at an angle specified by a field.

When I create the runtime content, the Label Field is indeed used for the text of the label but the label is NOT rotated using the rotation field. I've tried several variations to get the labels to rotate on the runtime maps but no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Mike...
