How to get items from a form into a report and retain code

[CDerosier]

I need to create a report based on a form. what I need to do is copy labels and lines and rectangles from the form to the report. There is coding behind the next record button that needs to follow the labels and lines. How can I do this?

Unless your form is very simple, you are looking at quite a lot of programming work to translate the graphic objects from the form to a report. I'd suggest that you use a temporary table to help with the process. For example, your temporary table would store the values for:

1) Type of object: Label, Line, Rectangle, etc.
2) Coordinates of the object
3) Color of the object
4) Width of the line objects or font size of text objects
5) Text of the label
etc.

Your form would store the proper values in the temporary table. Then, your report would retrieve those values and use them to actually draw the graphics and labels on the report.
