Drawing an Access Report

You're probably familiar with reports that use controls to contain text and other objects such as lines and boxes, but how do you create a report on a blank canvas with no controls?

Learn how to create an Access report where everything is drawn and written using VBA.

Use the Line Method to draw lines and rectangles, which can be filled with any color, and have any color for the border.

Use the Circle method to draw circles, ellipses, and arcs (open and closed). Like Line, any color can be used to fill closed shapes.

Use the Print method to write text. Do you want to add a shadow? Simply print the shadow text, then offset the starting coordinate and print the main text.

Hope you can make it!

Everyone is welcome.

kind regards,
crystal
