I believe Access supports the Shell() function. Look it up in help.

Are you using an OLE control or an Image control? Where is the image stored?

I'm using image control and the image is stored on the network and the
image frame just has a link to the image's path.

Cheers

In that case you could use the Shell function, as Jeff suggested, if you want to open the image in a
specific application, or you can use the ShellExecute API function call if you want to open the
image in the application that is associated with this file type.
