Here's a form with a graphic that was created today. The curve is a timeline. The buttons on the right are command buttons that will open forms to the active proposal. All of those forms are main form/subform pairs with embedded graphics. Buttons on the forms open main report/subreport...

Sorry, Marshall, you've got me. I have only used macros to open forms for the past several years.

Sorry about George. If you like, I am more than happy to go back and delete all of my posts in this thread.

Thanks, The_Doc_Man. The only graphics that I created when I was in the government were geochemical diagrams. I created so many that my friends gave me an award for them when I moved to a new duty station. Now you have an opportunity to go crazy. I love adding graphics to my applications.

Thanks Arnelgp. Very nice. I also have a cityscape in my application. I like yours as a switchboard.

I am curious to see the kinds of graphics that other people put in their forms and reports. Over the years I have put volcanoes, racetracks, gauges, and images of planets and the moon into my forms and reports. One of my favorites is this gauge. The numbers are calculated using a five-level...

Yes, Colin, but they ignored you. As you know all too well, I will never split.

I would love to see examples of folks' forms if they have embedded graphics and MVFs. No Pat, I am "separating" the application into 25 domains. I will never "split" it. End of story.

That's interesting jdraw. I don't use Google so I can't help you. Try checking the AUG website. Alternatively, ping George Hepworth and Maria Barnes.

Pat, I am separating the application now into different domains. So far, I have created domains for Pricing, Award Protests, and Business Metrics. The last domain that I will probably separate out is Proposals. It will be the last one because it is core to most of the others. It probably...

Yes, Josef P, My object names are fairly long. They usually tell me the primary, secondary, tertiary and sometimes the quaternary domains that are used in them. Occasionally, I need numbers for subreports used in Kanban boards. Thankfully, I foresaw the need to do this decades ago. I...

Thanks Pat, 1. Is not applicable because this is a one-user application. 2. Is not applicable because this is a one-user application. 3. Is not applicable because this is a one-user application. The next paragraph reads like work to me. No code. No server. I see absolutely no reason to do a...

Thanks jdraw. I gave a presentation to DAAUG about MVFs circa 2008. One developer in the group tried them. He said later that he abandoned using them for some reason that escapes me. Last year I gave presentations to Access LunchTime and Access Pacific about my use of graphics and...

Sorry, HillTJ, that my comment led the conversation astray, but you mentioned a split DB. I started working on my DB circa 2005, and I have grown it since into a comprehensive business development application for different industries. In the early days, I would package it on Fridays and...

Thanks. Let me say this in a different way: if you offered me a million dollars tomorrow, I would not split the application. I have been saying this for years.
