Looking for exe for Picture and Fax Viewer

[MDJ52]

I have some VBA programs written that allow us, utilizing the shell command, to execute the old kodak image viewer on windows 98 and windows 2000 systems.
We now have 2 new xp machines in house. Kodak imaging is gone. I would still like to handle some form of an automatic execute. Is anyone aware of the execute for the picture and fax viewer that comes with XP.
Thanks for your help
Mike

On my XP system, when I double click a tif file, Windows Picture and Fax viewer opens.

On the other hand, IE should be able to display tif files in any version.

Interesting though, on my system with quicktime installed, I'm prompted to install additional components.

Your milage may vary, but I hope this helps.

I don't know if you can call it from the command line, but Columbus is a very good viewer.

Have a look at my FAQ:faq705-1971

The code in there will let you use the default file handler for that file type.
eg:

fHandleFile "c:\MyPic.tif",WIN_MAX

will open the tiff file in whatever the defaul file viewer is, you don't need to worry about what the users have installed.
If there is no default, it pops up the dialog asking for an application.
