Display records based on button selected in Access 2016

I have created a seating plan in a form for my works building to manage the hosts. I'm wanting to click on a seat and have all details display in the fields at the bottom inc. who sits there, what hosts, make/model of hosts .etc. It's possible for a desk to have multiple hosts (a PC, laptop, Mac .etc), yet only 1 user can be sat there. That's why I've set up multiple record entries at the bottom so up to 3 can be shown. See attached image. Form Each host is associated with a user. Could I display multiple records that are associated with a userid? How could I go about this?  Thanks in advance

With that many controls, you would use WithEvents  to capture the click events without writing dozens of lines of code.
An example can be found here:

or use something like Screen.ActiveControl.Name to get the name of the image which was clicked.

and in the Click property (dialog box) of each of those controls, enter: =DisplayUserData()

With code like:

Private Function DisplayUserData()

    dim ctrl as control

    set ctrl = me.controls(screen.ActiveControl.Name).Caption

    'add code here to display the data associated with that position.

End Function
