    Make background image scroll with formq

    The title says it all. The background image of my form is a map, and the user has to scroll down to get to the bottom of the form.
    Option buttons are specifically placed on locations on the map - when the user scrolls down, the option buttons/other controls scroll but the background image stays in the same place and thus the controls are no longer in the right position.
    Any suggestions?


    Thanks,
    ​Lady Marmalade

    Hey!
    Thanks for the reply - attached is a database with a form which shows the issue.
    I'll also attach the background image just in case it's required.
    Just to note, inserting the image as a normal image as opposed to the background image fixes the issue as it scrolls with the form, but it makes editing the form very, very awkward.
    Really appreciate the help,
    Lady Marmalade

    Ok, get it now. I was just using Image control not setting form background.

    The controls are in the Detail section. Even though this is an unbound form, the controls are a 'record' and that's what the scroll bar is for - scroll records of the Detail section. The image is not a part of this 'record' so the controls appear to 'float' over the image. If controls are moved to the form Header section, there is no scroll bar and controls don't position properly with the image in form view. I think you will have to use OLEObject or Image control with other controls layered on top of it so everything will scroll together.
