How to display thumbnails using Access 2007 VBA on Windows XP

Hello guys,

I'm developing an Access app with MS Access 2007 on
Windows XP.

On the right half screen pane, I need to display thumbnails of all images
(.jpg and .tif) I scanned and located in a folder, using VBA code. When
clicking on one of them, the same image must be displayed
in normal size in the left half pane of the screen so the user is enabled to
rotate it if necessary and then save it.

The Access help is of no use, it does not explain how to do it. In some Help
files, the example code does not even work (there is no picture box in the
control list, only Image control, so why give an example with
'picture.Picture = C:\...')??? Is it only working on Office 2003?

Can you give some ideas, sample code or any suggestion?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Sounds like you are trying to recreate Windows Explorer functionalities
within access. Sorry to say, I do not believe you can.

You can easily list all the file and bring up the image of the selected
file, but as far as giving a thumbnail preview of all the files,..., I think
you may be out of luck.

I did a little digging and came across the following (look at the last post).
