I forget what it's called in another db app I use so I must just try to
describe it. When I put two images together to create 1 merged image, I can
lock those images together so that they act as one. Then I can take various
elements and lock them to the background so that the user can't accidentally
move them around. Can I do that in Access 97 and what are both these
functions called pls? Thanks.

Is there no way to do this in A97?
 
The short answer is no.
Access is a database application not a vector based Image editing program.

The long answer is maybe.
You could embed your images as OLE objects if the Paint/Draw program used as
the OLE Server, supports the type of image editing functionality desired.

I see. I can do this in Filemaker, which is also a database application,
but I can't do this in Access. Hmmm, wonder why?

Thanks.

In Filemaker Pro, we can group items together so that they act as one unit.
Then we can attach a button with a script to that so that the user can
perform something in the database more quickly. That's one thing. Then we
can lock elements of the database to the background.

I just need to know what that's called in Access, pls.

Thanks. :oD

I don't believe that kind of functionality exists in Access.
