viewing images in picture manager

[najimou]

Hi everyone

I have a form that displays images, what i want to do is that when the user double clicks on the picture displayed, it opens in MS picture manager

I used the code:
shell "ois.exe me![picturepath]"

what happens here, picture manager flashes then disappears from the screen



Any ideas

Thanks in advance

This will work:

Dim retVal As Variant
'You must provide the Absolute Path to ois.exe e.g.
C:\Programs\Graphics\ois.exe. If the Path is C:\ois.exe, then:
retVal = Shell("C:\ois.exe " & Chr$(34) & Me![PicturePath] & Chr$(34), vbMaximizedFocus)

It worked perfectly, and by the way i didn't have to provide the full path of the application

Thank you very much
