Like arrows? Sure.
For example, add an unbound control to the form.
Set it's control source to
= chr(223)
Set it's Font to Wingdings
Set it's FontSize to whatever you wish.
Set it's BackStyle to Transparent.

For more arrows, see the Windows CharacterMap program that's part of
Windows ....
Start + All Programs + Accessories + System Tools

Chr(223) is a slender left facing arrow, Chr(224) is a right facing
arrow, etc. up to Chr(248) for a wide 45° right/down facing arrow.

Other font styles might have additional shapes. Depends upon what's on
your computer.

Of course you could always use the Drawing tool bar in Excel or Word
and then simply Copy and Paste any of the shapes onto the Access form
in Design View.
