[AccessD] MS Access Drawing Capabilities

Paul,
 
Sorry for the delay...I was 'offline' yesterday...this mdb is at home on a personal machine.  I got your other email as well.  It does allow a 'user' to select what objects are visible and rearrange the objects on the screen...even the size of some objects.   I will try and put something together tonight.
 
Thanks,
