I have a databse that displays linked photos.
I need a software module (preferrable linked to a form field) that will
allow me to manipulate the pictures (and later save the results):
1. Resize the picture to a predefined resolution / color depth.
2. Draw on te picture (marking selecting areas with a "pencil"- like tool).
3. Clicking on a picture and record the x-y coordinates of the cursor.

Any idea how can I accomplish these tasks?

Thanks,

Indeed you will need either an external program or an ActiveX control
to do that.
External programs may include ones as simple as Microsoft Paint which
you can launch and open with the image in question:
shell "%SystemRoot%\System32\mspaint.exe c:\myFolder\myImage.bmp"
or complicated ones like Photoshop.
ActiveX controls: check out LeadTools; they have very powerful
controls, perhaps more than you need. 15 min with Google should find a
bunch more, and many of them offer a free trial period.
