Circle Method - draw ellipses using aspect ratio
Line Method   - lines and rectangles
Print Method  - Text output

also have a look at the DrawMode, DrawStyle, DrawWidth properties etc.

The help mentions these functions in relation to a report, but maybe you can
add a subreport to your form and use it as a drawing area.

hth,
Dave
