Use Powerpoint Shapes in Access Forms/Report

D

Dale Fye

Forgive the multi-post(Office Developer Automation), but I have yet to figure
out how to cross-post when using the Microsoft Discussion Groups web page for
accessing newsgroups.

I'm creating an Access 2003 application that requires a customized chart
(form now, report later).

I've got most of the pieces (X/Y axis, tic marks, plotting points,labels)
working, but now I need to put several images on the form.

If I create a shape in Powerpoint using one of the shapes (circle, oval,
octacgon,
stars, ...), and then copy the shape over to Access, it pastes as an
unboundOLE object, and the Picture property states Bitmap, but not which one.

What I am really looking for is a reference to where these images exist on
my computer, so that I can create the control on the fly, and set it's bitmap
property to correct image file. I could export the images to new files, but
would prefer to use files that should already exist on my users computers.

Any ideas?
