I'll give it a try. It might work. Only 120 rectangles. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 8:49 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Drawing on Ms Access Forms Have you thought about putting line controls on the form, as many as you might need, setting their lengths to zero and then resetting the lengths in code to draw the line. Have to admit that I can't remember trying this, but since you aren't creating the controls at runtime, I don't see why it should not work.

I tried a text box, with a string where I could mid$ in various characters an display them in real time, but I am hopeing for a more elegant solution that doesn't look so hoky. Back in the Radio Shack Color computer days you could draw lines on the screen. Using the createcontrol method requires that the forms switch back and forth of design mode. Any ideas on how to get around that ? Any examples I can look at at ? Thanks.
