[AccessD] MS Access Drawing Capabilities

Are all booths rectangular?  If so, you can possibly do it by placing  different sized buttons 
on a form. By naming the buttons consistently to identify the booths, it would be fairly simple 
to write a generic function called from the on_ckickthat popped up a msgbox or modal form 
with the info for the specific booth.
