I have a MS Access 2000 Query. I need to refer to this very regular.
I would like to display this query as part of my desktop wall paper.

Is this possible ?

And if so, how ?
 
Run the Query (or view in Datasheet View)
Press the Prt Sc button on the keyboard
Open Paint
Select Edit / Paste
Save the Image as MyQuery.bmp
Close Paint
Right Click on the Desktop and choose Properties
Click on the tab 'Desktop'
Click the Browse Button
Select the saved image MyQuery.bmp
 
Thanks for that, however I should of explained a little more. I would like
for th equery to be updateable. as the data it displayes changes every x
number of min's

I think yours would simply show me a 'picture' of the query.

Do you have some kind of dynamic Wall Paper application? I've always known
Wall Paper to be static, thus I thought you just wanted a picture of the
query. Lo Siento Mucho.

You could keep an instance of Access open all of the time and force the
query to refresh every X minutes with some code.
