Drawing Shapes on Forms ?

Dave Ruhl

After working with Visual FoxPro for so many years, I
guess I took for granted it's ability to draw shapes on
forms (circles, ellipses, triangles, etc...). I can't
seem to find a way to do this in Access, other than
importing an image. Am I missing something ? Thanks...

Unless I'm missing something too, the facility for drawing on forms in
Access 2000 is very basic, and is limited to straight lines and rectangles.
But what you can do, without having to import an image, is to insert a
Microsoft Draw object on a form. Do this via 'Object...' on the Insert menu.
You can then use all the functionality of Microsoft Draw on the form. But
maybe it's easier just to import an image.
