Rubberband effect (VBA in Acc2003)

Does anyone know if there is a VBA equivalent to the VB.Net function called DrawReversibleLine? I want to implement exactly what is shown at http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_net_reversible_line.html%5B/url%5D , except in VBA hosted by Access 2003.

If no equivalent, can anyone suggest an alternative method — what I want is to draw an onscreen line anchored at a known point to the current mouse location. The line should “rubberband” as the mouse is moved.

I think it’ll be difficult as Access forms don’t have a drawing mode property that can be set to Invert or something like that.

Thanks Hans and Charlotte for the info.

That is one of the differences between managed code and VBA, I’m afraid. You can’t do many things in VBA that are a snap in .Net.
