[AccessD] Need for a Map (Image) with Multiple Hot Spots (Inthe Shape of Countries)

Mark:

You can extend that capability by having you access application re-write
various web pages and then call them.

In a number of POS systems, I do that with personalized invoices or sales
brochures and so on. You just open the web page, within Access, re-write it,
then call it and/or just mail it. By picking from a set of pre-design page,
modifying the variables the page can be made to look like anything; add all
the graphics/header/footers you want, even embed links to your web site or
add movies and sounds.

All this can leverage a vanilla Access package further than just a local PC
app to a full web based control center and you don't have to be a web-guru
to do it...just understand the basics of a web page.

Very cool approach.
Have you considered using many tiny labels that conform to the underlying
image in a pixel sort of fashion ?
You'll have to encapsulate them in a class so you can have your action fire
from a single event handler.
