Multiple Hyperlinks Over Existing Graphic
I have a rather complex graphic that I want to hyperlink off of, but
different hyperlinks from different portions of the graphic. I want to avoid generating a graphic puzzle to piece it back together. In Excel I could do this by creating multiple transparent autoshapes over the graphic and launching separate macros with each autoshape. In Access I cannot fully do this. If I create a transparent box the hyperlink only activates by finding and clicking the transparent border (the center does nothing). If I fill the box it covers the graphic (but the hyperlink works anywhere in the box). Any suggestions? |

AFAIK, Access doesn't do mapping of un-even shapes like that.
If the shapes are all rectangular, you could place unattached transparent labels over the graphic, and use their hyperlink. No programming required. Alternatively, you could use the MouseDown event of the graphic, which gives you X and Y coordinates to work from. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.

Thanks for your time... works great. I use label hyperlinks all the time...
don't know why I didn't think of that here... just Excel on the brain. Cheers. "Allen Browne" wrote: AFAIK, Access doesn't do mapping of un-even shapes like that.
