[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.

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. . . .
