Aloha, I don't what it is called but I want to make a floor plan or
map of say 400 storage units.
I have done this before with "Stationary" storage units by creating
text boxes on a form page and using mouse-over to bring up data, but
now I am on a project where the storage units are changeable!

I created a form with subforms and using "conditional formatting" I
was able to do the color-boxes criteria thing, but it is a very large
memory hog and get "cannot any more forms" errors all the time

So is there any free or nominal cost add-on programs that will allow
me to create an easily changeable map. thanks Francis

A Flex Grid Control will probably do what you want. Have a look at -

for some examples.

It may not be an appropriate solution, but you can change the position of
text boxes based on coordinates stored in a table.
I have used option buttons to build a map of towns, using control tip text
for extra information.
