I did explain the outcome I was after. >From my original message: "My client *wants to see a thumbnail* of all the images that are related to the record being viewed - the images are stored in a folder with the same name as the record ID, so finding them is easy. I dropped a Webbrowser control on the form, fed it the appropriate path, and BAM! I'm looking at a list of files. Close, but *I need to see a thumbnail view*, not a list view. I can right-click in the control and select View > Thumbnail, but *my client wants the images to appear in thumbnail view* without his users having to do anything." The question is hereby withdrawn. -C- ---- Original Message ---- From: accessd at shaw.ca To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com, Subject: RE: [AccessD] VB6: Using the Webbrowser controltoviewfiles-Thumbnail view?
