Hi All, I'm working on a Document Management project and I was looking for a control that could display thumbnails of the several file types, including DOC, XLS, PPT, TIF, JPG, PDF. Browsing through the ActiveX controls on my systems, I found ThumbCtl, which is really simple to use and does a much better job of sizing & rendering graphics than the standard VFP image control. It's a control that's been included with MS's OSs for quite a while.

According to the info that I could find on it (which wasn't much), it should be able to display thumbnails for all of the file types I listed, with the exception of PDFs. It's simple to use by passing the file path & name to DisplayFile().

It works fine for most file types (even displays a Visio thumbnail), but for some reason, I can't get it to display thumbs for Word or Excel docs.

Any ideas or recommenations?

Thanks,

-Matt
