Am having problems with images that are too large to display in allowed form space. Basically I have a log image for each record which is fairly long and the form in which the image is viewed cannot be made long enough to view the entire image on scrolling down. The width is fine.

Using Clipped Size Mode which is the exact size I want it for pratical viewing, but the image is too long for the form and I run out of space before the end of the image. If I use Zoom the image is too small.

Ideally I'd like to be able to scroll down through the image, is there perhaps a way of adding a vertical scrollbar to the image? Or overriding the form length limit under the Detail section?

Appreciate any pointers, thanks in advance.

Trying to use Windows Picture and Fax viewer as alternative

Okay, kinda given up on my initial query as I don't think it's possible :(.

So, have tried setting up Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to open a given image when a button is clicked which seems to work well, here's my code (forgive my coding, something relatively new to me):

Private Sub ViewLogImage_Click()

Dim ProjPath
ProjPath = "W:\Open\" & Wells_FolderLink & "\" & WELLNAME & ".TIF"

Dim S As Object
Set S = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
S.Run "rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen " & ProjPath

End Sub

My question is, what's the best way to include some error coding in here if there is no image for the given entry? I could leave out error coding but that just means Windows Pic/Fax Viewer opens blank which could confuss the user.

Thx,

Gareth
