How can I construct circles and join them together with lines?
I want to construct a diagram consiting of circles joined by lines.
I want to then use this diagram so that the user can click on the various circles which will take them into related forms where they can view or input data thus going deeper into the system.

I can send a word attachment file which details the problem more CLEARLY if you send me a n e-mail to terimeri@postmaster.co.uk.

More detaile explanation:
Here's the problem:
I am developing a project management tool for a project at University in Visual Basic 6 and
have considered using a main diagram from which the user can click on and go deeper into, thus manoeuvring around the tool/system I am building.

Now this is the part I am not sure of:
The diagram I want to use is a NETWORK DIAGRAM, (I've included it below, I hope the format has not messed up in the transfer to you) i.e. one which is commonly used to diagrammise the stages of a project and the times predicted for each of the stages are written in the appropriate circles or stages.



1) What I want to know is,
Can I actually build a diagram like this in using Visual Basic 6 and then…. link associated tables and spreadsheets into the relevant objects or circles?
I would intend to bring these up or make them accessible by clicking on the associated object or circle (perhaps on a button) and navigating deeper into that part of the system.

If I can,
Please can you tell me how I go about this, particularly drawing the objects and the lines that are drawn between them (horizontally and diagonally)?

Please let me know if there is anything I have not explained adequately and I will get back to you as soon as possible and please forgive me if any of the questions seem stupid or trivial.
