[AccessD] Percentage Gauge

[David Emerson]

Hi Rocky,

Yes, it is a user requirement.  They want to show a pretty graphic along with the boring number 😊

It doesn't need to be accurate - just an indication.

Yes it can be turned on it's side (in fact that would be best since there is not lots of vertical space).

The figure is just a measure of how much is used of the total amount available (which is pretty much what a percentage is 😊)

Your suggestion is what I thought of first but I am not sure how it can be implemented on a datasheet.

Regards

David

Bar would be much easier. There are 1440 twips per inch. So you could do 14 twips per percentage point. But the information shown that way would be of little value. One inch is not enough to discriminate variations on the data. How much space have you got for this bar?  Could it be turned on it's side like a progress bar?

Curious to know why this rendering is required. I assume some user gave you a spec?

What is it measuring that is, percentage of what?
