As the saying goes, almost anything can be done. What you are describing is not really too difficult. However, to word it in an email might be, but I will try to keep it short.
Start by determining how many injury points are possible on the body figure. I.E. Elbow, ankle,neck, etc. etc. In your table, assign a column for each of these points, I would suggest type text . On your form, you can place the body figure and send it to the back ground. Over the top, place a check box control at each designated injury point. Assign the related table column according to each check box / injury point. You can clear the caption just to show a small box if desired, or you can enter titles. Hints would could be very handy here as well. When the form is used, the user simply clicks on all the points of injury as needed. The database will store a "Y" in that column if checked and a "N" if not, thus retaining the record as requested. When printing, place the body figure on the report (Probably at a break header ). You can choose from a number of different objects to then place/display at each injury point, such as the letter X or even a small Jpeg if desired. Then uncheck the visible option for that control. They will not show when printed by default. On the Before Generate Band of where you placed the image, test the value for each of the injury points... If ColAnkle = 'Y' then Property AnkleFlag visible 'true' endif ... You get the idea. When you print your report, the body figure will graphically show all the points that were checked during form entry. If you have any questions, contact me off list. Good Luck -Bob -- Thompson Technology Consultants LaPorte, IN 46350 219-363-7441 -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Tom Frederick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am working on a standardized injury report (a contractual requirement for this specific form) that requires marking a generic human figure drawing where some injury occurred. We have a high number of people who have seizures in our programs. We need to record that John scraped his left ear and bruised his right thigh plus other related medical info. Most of the report is fill in the box/drop down inputs. Putting the figure in a form and report is pretty straight forward. How to mark a figure on a screen form with a mouse and keep those marks for later faxes or email has not been so easy. Can this be done within R:Base?
