graphics

[arista via AccessMonster.com]

Could you recommend me please what is the best way to play with graphics ?
I am using MS Access 2003 and VBA and I would like to display some images in
forms and reports (also print it), draw several types of charts and to allow
users some simply drawing functions (line by hand, line by two clicks,
filling area with some colour, etc.).
1) Shall I use PictureBox (which I did not find in my VBA) ? If yes - is it
possible to somehow import it from the VB ?
2) I found some PictureBox from Lesbans but seems to me that there are
missing some functions.
3) Or is there something else please ?
Thanks

You cannot use teh Visual Basic PictureBox control in Access...period.
Further, there is no VB PictureBox control available for Access hence the
VBPictureBox class on my site. I never advertised my class as a complete VB
PictureBox control. I added all of the basic functionality to equal the VB
PictureBox control. Full source code is included so you can easily add any
specific features you require.

You might be better off using OLE to embedd an object from Visio or some
other structured Drawing program.

Hi. I just wanted to know which way to go, so your answer should help me
(using Lebans VBPictureBox and make some functions). Thanks
