Hi Ken,
I saw from another posting that you have a Ph.D. in chemistry. I need some
help. I have a database that has over 30,000 chemicals in it. I need to
display chemical structures for each chemical when the user chooses that
chemical.
My first wish would be to draw the structure from the SMILES notation within
Access with a .dll, possibly. So far, the one .dll I do have pops up a new
window with a structure drawn as a windows metafile. Not sure how I would
incorporate that into an access form
Another alternative would be drawing the chemical structures in other
software, such as ISIS or chemdraw and then either pasting the structues into
the database or better putting in a separate folder and then having code
point to that image. I have code to do that. That would take a long time to
create all the structures.
Any help or insight would be extremely appreciated!
Thanks,
Michele Stephenson
