>>Hi all!
>>
>>Ii wanna use JPG's instead of BMP's when saving pics with VFP 5.0. Is there any ActiveX to handle this?
>>
>>I think we'd need a control to display the JPG in a form, another control or class to select it (with a preview), and no more, since I guess we can save the pic in a General field? or not?
>>
>>TIA!!

>How to display pictures in the forms?

>For VFP 5.0 to display JPGs you can use WebBrowser ActiveX

Send me an email and I will send you a FREE ocx that can display .JPG files, that I created in Visual basic Control Creation Edition (which is also free from MS) or maybe you can do it??
