Folks,

   I have a database with images associated to patient records. The images (scanned docs stored as .jpg's) are stored on the network, and when you open a form, a small picture of the image is displayed on the form. On the same form I have a button that opens the image in IE, like this:

'==========
Private Sub btnViewImage_Click()

    Dim stLink As String
    Dim objExplorer As Variant

    stLink = Me.txtImageName

    Set objExplorer = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
        objExplorer.Navigate stLink
        objExplorer.Visible = 1

End Sub
'==========

   This opens the image with IE. The problem is that the image is either too large or too small, and when you print, it only prints the upper left side of the image (because it's too large.)

   I would like to open the image in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer because it scales better and prints better. The problem is that this viewer is more a function of Windows Explorer, and not its own Application, that I can figure.

   Perhaps there is a "CreateObject("WindowsViewer.Application") sort of call, or a way to call the .jpg, which would open with its default viewer.

   HELP!

Thanks,

mmcdonal
