This would be a limited solution by definition - OCX/ActiveX is a rogue for
MS Access forms and controls...

> Now, I don't know why you would draw something on a form
1. "tractor" continuous/datasheet forms
2. skins
3. Dynamic drawing of circles, ellipses, .., and other geometric figures
around controls to highlight special values etc... 4. just fun of extreme
VBA programming 5. ??? (something else anybody) ???
