[AccessD] Resize pictures

Hi Doug and Joe

IrfanView it is ...

It can, but when I tested it years ago it couldn't resize a rectangular picture - portrait or landscape - to automatic best fit within a given square. However, today it may be able to do so.

Joe,

Take a look at Infranview. I use it for batch processing. Have not run it from code but believe it is possible.
