Re: Creating new textbox at run time

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

No, I want the textbox (or perhaps an acRectangle) to overlay the image when
it is displayed, and not stored as part of the image. That's why I want the
center of the rectangle to be transparent. Also, sometimes, I may want only
some of the rectangles displayed and depending on the situation, with
different colored borders. I plan to store the bookmarks that relate parts
of one image to parts of another image, in a separate table.

I did think about storing that information within an image, and the only
"open source" format that I could do that with is *.tif. But for reasons
justifiable only to Microsoft, Access doesn't support tif, so that option is
out. There is also a chance that I may not be allowed to store such
information within an image.

Please don't advise using some "proprietary" format or a mass market
product.. They end up being nothing but trouble, their features are way
overexaggerated, and in the long run they are unsupported. The only reason
I'm using Access is that it has some programming ability and it won't break
my budget.
