clickable maps that retrieve database info

[Richey]

Hi

If I have a map of an area, how can you click on a certain area of the map and that will retrieve details from an Access Database relating to the area clicked?
Do you have to split the map up into say quadrants?
I really haven't a clue...................

Any help appreciated
Ian

There is a way in HTML to make what is called an "image map". In fact, there are several tools out there to simplify doing just that. Basically it allws you to use coordinates to break up and image, and then you can set each image as an HREF to execute script or link to another page. Just search the net for "HTML" and "image map" and you should find lots of examples.
