VB PictureBox in Access?

[Dave]

Has anyone been able to use a VB6 Picturebox in Access? In VB6, it's
referenced as "Visual Basic For Applications" and it's in MSVBVM60.DLL, but I
can't reference it in Access.

I would really like to use a PictureBox in my Access Form, because the usual
Access picture-type controls (Image, Unbound Object Frame, etc.) don't give
me the control and flexibility I need.

Thanks for your help.

It's not possible. You have a couple of options:

1) Create an ActiveX control in Visual Basic containing the PictureBox
control.

2) Find a Third party PictureBox like control that will work on Access
forms.

3) See:
http://www.lebans.com/imageclass.htm
ImageClass has been replaced by the PictureBoxA97 project. A standard Image
control is wrapped within a class to allow the control to resemble the
standard Visual Basic PictureBox control. Simple drawing methods are
directly supported as is Text output with rotation. A handle to a Device
Context is exposed to allow the developer to use the full range of Graphic
API's. Also supports Screen Grabs, Copy to Clipboard and Save Image control
to a disk Bitmap file. Here is the Access 2000 version, PictureBoxA2K.zip
