>Can VFP handle something on the order of showing a preview image from "any Windows image file"? I was at a client's site today and the owner said a file extension I had not heard of. I asked the "potential" client to send me the file extensions, which he hasn't done yet.
Hi,

If you/your client is after a way to preview a picture before selecting it maybe you can make use of the windows 'show thumbails' ?

try this:

oShell = CREATEOBJECT("Wscript.Shell")
oShell.SendKeys("+{TAB}+{F10}{DOWN}{ENTER}{ENTER}")

and select a folder with whatever type of pictures.

Koen
