    Custom Form Design ??

    A client of mine has asked if I could create customr forms for him. He does not want them to be the typical rectangular shape.

    Has anyone come across any tools or methods which can achieve this?

    TIA

    Use an image

    Hi.

    You can use an image to du this.

    If you draw an image of what the form should look like, then fill all the area's that should be invisible with a unique color that is not used any where else on the image. For instance Magenta.

    The nset this image as the background image of the form, and select Magenta as the transparency key in the form properties.

    Yuo will now have a form, shaped after you image.
