My point is that with your code .. "images\"+alltrim(str(thisform.text1.value))+(".GIF") +(".jpg") .. you specify a file as .. .value))+(".GIF") +(".jpg") which will result in xxx.GIF.JPG where xx = ....value.

To solve your real problem, you must use adir() to get the complete name of the file, and then use that name.
But if I understand your problem correctly, I would rather use ...picture=getpict()
