I have a form with a unbound diagram of a car, what I would like to do is
enable users to place crosses or marks where damage maybe on the diagram. I
dont know very much about code but any help or advice would be much
appreciated.

Many Thanks in advance.

When you say an "unbound" diagram do you actually mean:
1) An Image embedded within the standard Access Image control loaded via
the control's Picture property.
or
2) An Image inserted as an OLE object into an unbound OLE Frame control.

If scenario #1 then I would suggest using say Rectangle controls,
moveable by the user at runtime, to be placed overtop of the Image
control. Store the coordinates in a table when the record is saved.
There would be some coding involved.

If scenario #2, and for example MS Paint is functioning as the OLE
Server, then simply double clicking on the diagram will start MS Paint.
Most users can be taught to use the Paint interface very easily.

what you can try - is to insert several image controls with cross image on
this form, then if user click somewhere within car image - you move cross
image there (you can read mouse position) and make it visible.
