Thanks Tore,

>>Hi All,
>>I was looking for extension "JPG", "BMP", "GIF" for picture files but VFP supports a lot of picture types now.
>>
>>I think so a function should like IfPictureFile() for check a file if it is an image file which VFP can show. How can I do that?

>I created this function a few years ago, it determines the file type based on it's contents. I can not guarantee that it's 100% accurate, but I have not had any trouble with it. This function together with a simple Inlist() should give you what you want.
