Hi,
I have an access database form with an image. I'm trying to create an
onclick event on the image so that when a user clicks on the image it opens
that file with the default viewer the computer is set on. I've searched the
web and nothing solid. I did get the following VBA code and it doesn't seem
to work. If anyone can help me i'd appreciate it. From the code below
txtImageNote is a field on the form that displays the path to the image with
is working properly.
=====BEGIN=====
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dl l" Alias
"ShellExecu teA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal
lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String,
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Private Sub imageFrame_Clic k()
Dim strImageName As String
strImageName = Me!txtImageNote
ShellExecute 0, vbNullString, strImageName, vbNullString, vbNullString,
vbNormalFocus
End Sub
=====END====== 2 10744

This works for me:
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dl l" Alias
"ShellExecu teA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String,
ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal
lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
----
ShellExecute 0&, vbNullString, sPath, vbNullString, vbNullString,
vbNormalFocus
----
....where sPath is a full valid path to a file.
Thank you... worked great!!!

Greetings,
I am converting a VB6 application to .net and am having troubles trying to
print a document directley to the printer. My VB6 app used the API
ShellExecute method to accomplish this, however, needed the printer name,
driver and port. All which were obtainable using the Printer object in VB6.
Now in .net, I've tried using the System.Drawing.Printing namespace to do
this, but that is unsatisfactory. So I went back to the API...

My application hosts IE activex control. I follow the standard procedure: I

Now, from my code I try to ShellExecute to a link (to show it in a new

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
