Multiple Hyperlinks Over Existing Graphic

I have a rather complex graphic that I want to hyperlink off of, but
different hyperlinks from different portions of the graphic. I want to avoid
generating a graphic puzzle to piece it back together. In Excel I could do
this by creating multiple transparent autoshapes over the graphic and
launching separate macros with each autoshape. In Access I cannot fully do
this. If I create a transparent box the hyperlink only activates by finding
and clicking the transparent border (the center does nothing). If I fill the
box it covers the graphic (but the hyperlink works anywhere in the box). Any
suggestions?
 
AFAIK, Access doesn't do mapping of un-even shapes like that.

If the shapes are all rectangular, you could place unattached transparent
labels over the graphic, and use their hyperlink. No programming required.

Alternatively, you could use the MouseDown event of the graphic, which gives
you X and Y coordinates to work from.
 
Thanks for your time... works great. I use label hyperlinks all the time...
don't know why I didn't think of that here... just Excel on the brain.
Cheers.
