[AccessD] Resize pictures

Still a problem. That was the limitation which set me looking for another CLI tool  and it's 
what the function I posted earlier does using Imagemagick

I use and recommend  Irfanview  all the time for GUI use, but Imagemagick iby far the better 
tool for manipulating images from code such as VBA.
