Is there a way to draw lines on an image or picture? 1

[DougP]

Say I have a .jpg of a buildings floor plan like a blueprint. and I wanted to show a user where room A was using a blinking square or something. I would want it to be able to show any room on the map so to speak.
Can this be done in Access 2003?
I did it using VB6 one time, using Line I think. I had to click where each location was on the map the first time and grabbed the X-Y coords and stored them along with "Room A" and so forth.
Table of coords
X Y RoomName
3.45 4.56 RoomA
6.67 2.45 RoomB
8.45 5.45 RoomC
...
Then when a user drilled down to a room and clicked it, it shows a blinking square on the room.

Any ideas welcome.

You could use hidden items on your form and make them 'visible' when required.

me.itemname.visible = true

so I can make a label with no caption and in the shape of a square. Make it visible and move it to the desired location using its X-Y coords?
That will work thank you.
