[dba-Tech] Drawing text/graphics on MS Access forms usingWin32API

> couldn't you find an ocx to handle that?
This would be a limited solution by definition - OCX/ActiveX is a rogue
for MS Access forms and controls...

> Now, I don't know why you would draw something on a form
1. "tractor" continuous/datasheet forms
2. skins
3. Dynamic drawing of circles, ellipses, .., and other geometric figures
around controls to highlight special values etc...
4. just fun of extreme VBA programming
5. ??? (something else anybody) ???
