Static Meter

[Jael]

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.

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.
