i need to design a report that will print text on specified x,y coordinates
for example, i will input (50,50), (60,60), (70,70) and i will have my program print text at those specific coordinates on the report. in total there will be about 50 different coordinates.
how do i achieve this? should i be using a label control or a textbox? should i be creating the controls dynamically or should i already have controls set at the specified regions?
Usually this is done when creating some type of Wizard for Access and not during the usage of a production application. You can use CreateControl but the form has to be opened in design mode first. This probably doesn’t match your version of Access and may need to be adjusted.
How to Use the CreateControl() and CreateReportControl() Functions
This is what it was like in the days of pre-printed forms (sometimes in triplicate) and dot matrix printers. I suggest you take a management role, and suggest they scrap the paper forms, buy a laser printer and make this task about a hundred times easier.
