I have an Access Database that open .JPG picture files for viewing and
printing. If I open the files from My Computer it uses the Windows Viewer
which is what I want. When I'm in Access it is opening them with Microsoft
Explorer. How do I get it to use the correct Viewer
 
Which method are you using to open the pictures?

Did you try
Dim PicNameAndPath As string
PicNameAndPath= "c:\PicName.jpg"
Application.FollowHyperlink PicNameAndPath
 
There is no code behind it. There is just a hyper-link field and we type in
the path and file name

//server/epsudatabase/picture/100100.jpg

If I go from My computer and open 100100.jpg it uses the viewer but if I
click the picture open from Access it uses Explorer (which prints the
pictures terribly)
