MS Access Forum / ActiveX Controls / January 2005Reposted Unbound Picture Object
I have a form with a unbound diagram of a car, what I would like to do is enable users to place crosses or marks where damage maybe on the diagram. I dont know very much about code but any help or advice would be much appreciated. Many Thanks in advance. Simon When you say an "unbound" diagram do you actually mean: 1) An Image embedded within the standard Access Image control loaded via the control's Picture property. or 2) An Image inserted as an OLE object into an unbound OLE Frame control. If scenario #1 then I would suggest using say Rectangle controls, moveable by the user at runtime, to be placed overtop of the Image control. Store the coordinates in a table when the record is saved. There would be some coding involved. If scenario #2, and for example MS Paint is functioning as the OLE Server, then simply double clicking on the diagram will start MS Paint. Most users can be taught to use the Paint interface very easily. -- HTH Stephen Lebans http://www.lebans.com Access Code, Tips and Tricks Please respond only to the newsgroups so everyone can benefit. > I have a form with a unbound diagram of a car, what I would like to do is > enable users to place crosses or marks where damage maybe on the diagram.
