Creating a map with some controls in it

[jostrep]

I wanna know if it's possible to use an access 2002 form to create some controls(icons) on top of a picture (a map) so that i can click those icons to display some info. The trick part is that those icons positions are generated by x,y coordinates from the db itself. Plus a zooming control wold be a plus...

So what are your opinions on my little project.

Thank you all in advance.

Just create a command button and set it's tranparent property to Yes. Also, make sure that its Z-order is on top of the picture; you can use the Bring To Front command from the format menu to insure that trait.

The zoom is another story, if you want to keep the button relative to the same area (keeping the same relative x-y coordinates as the picture), you have to code for that as well.
