[AccessD] Drawing on Ms Access Forms

I had to make rather complex line and bar graphs once in Access at report
time based on data in a table.  I used zero length lines positioned where I
wanted them and then, in the format event, changed the length based on the
bound value from the table.  I was also able to position letters like x
where I wanted the same way using a known value for the top and left and
adding enough twips to put it where I wanted it.

Subject: [AccessD] Drawing on Ms Access Forms

 Hello Everyone

 I would like to create a timeline gage where a line shows  up on a form to
shown that the hours of 10:00 thru 12:00  and 17:00 thru 19:00 are
scheduled.

 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.

 Sincerely,
 Edz. . . .
