Opening microsoft photo editor

[raindrop3]

Hello,

I'm trying to open a picture with microsoft photo-editor. How can I do that?

The path to the image is stored in the database. Now, I want to open it by a command button on a form. Can someone help me with this code??

thanks a lot...

if MicroSoft Photo Editor is the default package for the image then you should be able to open the file and it should automatically launch Ms Photo Editor for you.
You can do this using the Shell statement:

Shell "PathToFile"
