I have a image control on a form. I scan an image into
the control. This works fine. What I would like to do
is be able to double click on the image and have it
display in full screen or at least larger than the
control on the form. Maybe something similar to opening a
document in Word from Access.

If this makes any sense, I would appreciate any input.

Thanks,

Rick
 
You should be able to attach a click or double click event to the image
control, and in the code launch a secondary application (using Shell(), or a
RunApp macro), passing the image path to it, to allow image viewing (such as
mspaint.exe, which should be common to any windows machines that the
database might run on). For that matter you could even open it in Internet
Explorer if you would prefer.
