This article shows you how to use the Circle method to create a filled-in
"pie slice" on a report.
This article assumes that you are familiar with Visual Basic for
Applications and with creating Microsoft Access applications using the
programming tools provided with Microsoft Access. For more information
about Visual Basic for Applications, please refer to your version of the
"Building Applications with Microsoft Access" manual.

to the "Building Applications" manual.
MORE INFORMATION
The following sample user-defined function, PIE(), can be called from an
event property on the report's detail section. The function uses the Circle
method to create a filled-in "pie slice" on the report:
- Start Microsoft Access and open any database.
- Create a new module and enter the following code:
Function PIE(Rpt as Report)
Const PI = 3.14159265359
Const CStart = -.00000001
Const CEnd = -2 * PI / 6
Rpt.FillColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Rpt.FillStyle = 0
Rpt.Circle (1500, 1500), 1500, RGB(0, 255, 0), Cstart, CEnd
End Function
- Create a new report named TestReport. The report can be bound or
unbound.
- Set the OnPrint property of the report's detail section to the
following expression:
=PIE([Reports]![TestReport])
- Set the Height property for the detail section to 2.5 inches.
- Preview the report.
