The inserting picture techniques are great! However, I want to take it one step further. I need to include various images in a person table including pictures, pdf's, word files, etc. A small display of the image is okay but I also want to be able to launch the attached file in its original program, like Acrobat for the pdf's. A button would be fine for this. Additionally I wonder if more than one image can be handled with the "link" method. Thanks for any help you can give me on this!!!

Hi Wally, I think Rich needs to make this lesson quickly as yet again this has been asked.
Here's his answer from a previous question:
You can use the SHELL command to launch an external program, like Acrobat, to view files. I do cover that in the Imaging Seminar. You do have to know what program to launch, however, when using SHELL.
I'll be making a lesson on how to launch ANY type of attachment soon.
