Adding a Watermark

[GFegan]

I have a form that has a drop down box which has a list of different reports created in access.

On the form i need to add a tick box, which allows the user the option to print a watermark on the report they decide to open.

I have created a bitmap image for my watermark.

Anyone any ideas of the code i would use within the form and the reports to add the watermark when the option has been ticked?

[evildracko]

first make the image a gif with trabsparent background...

then in front of said form, add a imagebox preferabbly called image frame

and set the value of picture to none

in the code try

Private Sub Detail_Format
Dim strImagePath As String 

if (Watermarked condition) then
        strImagePath = <Path for image>
        Me.ImageFrame.Picture = strImagePath 
end if

hopee this works

You can Embed the Bitmap Image on the Report then set its Visible Property to False. Place code in the Open() Event ot the Report which then checks the State of your Check Box on the Form, then sets the Visibility of the Image accordingly, as in:

Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
  Me![Image18].Visible = Forms!Form1![chkWaterMark]
End Sub
