Hi,
I am wanting to build a view of terrain that a character is looking at within a PBM (Play By Mail) game. The characters could be looking in any direction from any 1 of over 6000 'squares' (Similar to the way that it was done in Lords of Midnight, anyone remember that old gem). The terrain in the distance is built first, then each terrain type is added using a bigger picture as the view gets nearer the player, anything behind the nearest terrain is blotted out.). The code I am creating looks like this :-
[tt]
[/tt]
I can build the HTML code to position the GIF's in Access and I can use the MS Web Browser control to view the resultant image or page to be more precise on a form. However, when I try to either add the form to a report or add the Web Browser control itself to the report nothing shows. Does anyone know how I can show the generated image from the HTML on the report using the Ms Web browser control or could anyone suggest a better way of creating the image.
Thanks
Graham
