i would like to access a 'sample.jpg' file through a menu tab selection such that the image appears outside the VFP window

i know i can view the image if i set it up within an html file thus (below) - however is there a way to display the image without going through intermediate html file - sample code would be appreciated.

oIE = CreateObject ("internetexplorer.application")
oIE.NAVIGATE ("c:/sample.html")
oIE.VISIBLE = .T.

thanks K
