Static Meter
I would like to create a circular meter (like a clock face) in a form that
has 50 "stops" or defined increments in 180 degrees (3.6 degrees per measurement) The raw/plotted value would be between 40 and 90. I'd like an indicator (line & arrow) to point to 9:00 (270 degrees) for 40, 12:00 (360 degrees) for 65 and 3:00 (180 degrees) for 90. I need the left side of the circle background to be green and the right side to be red. I can do this with a progress bar type meter but my client wants a circular meter ("speedometer"). I'm using MSAccess 2003. Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff |

You need a series of images, one for each position you want to display. The
in the Current Event of the form, display the verision of the image that meets the requirements. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "Jael" wrote: I would like to create a circular meter (like a clock face) in a form that has 50 "stops" or defined increments in 180 degrees (3.6 degrees per measurement) The raw/plotted value would be between 40 and 90.

Static Meter
Thanks Dave. that's not the answer I was hoping for but....
I may try and program a meter using an image as a background and adjust a line from the origin to the value using Sine, Cosine & line slant. I know the angle needs to be in radians and the length, height in TWIPs. It might be a fun challenge. Thanks again and sorry for the multiple posts - never ran into that much of a delay between posting and actually seeing them at my end.
