That's brilliant Harfang, thanks!<br />
<br />
One last thing though: I would like to see the actual drawing happening. With this code I don't see the rectangle until it's done. Do you know a way?

Insert a &quot;Me.Repaint&quot; just underneath the &quot;End With&quot; in &quot;imaSelect_MouseMove&quot;<br />

Hello keimpe<br />
<br />
I didn't need that on Access 2k. I believe there is a new form property for later versions, something like &quot;auto redraw&quot;, that might play a role here.<br />
Anyway, glad it worked! Good luck with your project!<br />

Dear everyone,<br />
<br />
I want to let my users create clickable maps in Access. I want to accomplish this by presenting them with a form with an image on it and then letting them draw a rectangle by dragging the mouse across a selection of the image. After they release the mouse, I need to pick up the Top, Left, Right and Bottom values of the rectangle.<br />
<br />
Can this be done?<br />
<br />
I played around with this Lebans tool a little: <a href="http://www.lebans.com/imageclass.htm" rel="ugc">http://www.lebans.com/imageclass.htm</a>&nbsp;so I think it can be done, but I'm not clever enough to change his code. I hope you are.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

How to draw a rectangle on a form using the mouse?

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
