    Drawing on form in code

    The access import wizard has a convenient form when a fixed-width file is to be imported. The form allows us to click the data to insert an arrow at a position where the next field should begin.



    For my project, the wizard has some serious shortcomings, so I am trying to build my own import form. I can capture everything else needed to build an import routine, but I can't figure out, nor find examples of, allowing the user to place column breaks graphically.

    Does anyone know how to do this without using the wizard? Or rather, like in the wizard?

    Many thanks.

    Tom

    Can you set the top, left, height, and width properties in the property sheet? That would be the brute force method in avoiding the wizard...provided that dragging the fields isn't doing the job.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
