Is there a vba method to create a rectangle on a form. As a user of the form clicks on items in a list I want to create a rectangle object each time. I thought I was on the right path using the CreateControl method for example:

Set shpBox = CreateControl(Forms!Pop_LoadBundles, acRectangle, acDetail, "", "", Lft, Tp, Lg, Ht)

HOWEVER, I am mistaken as such a method would be used on a rectangle control, yet I just want to create a standard shape of a rectangle and place it on my form.

Any help is always greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Coby.

Probably the easiest thing to do (since I am short on time today) is to create the rectangle yourself, and then set its Visible property to No. Then add an event that will fire when the user clicks on items, and have that event set the visible property to Yes (True in VBA).

You can create a series of them, and then set them to visible one at a time if you want the users to select a bunch of them. Just use a seperate field to keep a count of the current number of checks. Or use a public variable.

Did that help?

That is working. Thanks again, mmcdonal.
