Hi David,

The VFP Oleboundcontrol control uses application associated with particular file type (extension) to display the file. No all applications are compatible with the Oleboundcontrol control.

>Does XP not have a PCX viewer installed? Under Win98 I could view a PCX in an Oleboundcontrol but under XP it won't display. Do I need to register a third party PCX viewer?

>Does anyone have a more compact format?
