How about:
Code:
oIE = createobject('internetexplorer.application')
oIe.Navigate2('c:\frame0.jpg')
oIe.Visible = .t.Mike Gagnon

Try Shell execute (courtesy of Mike lewis
this will open the file c:\mypic.jpg in Internet exporer
DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32.dll ;
INTEGER hndWin, ;
STRING cAction, ;
STRING cFileName, ;
STRING cParams, ;
STRING cDir, ;
INTEGER nShowWin
cFileName = "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.Exe"
cAction = "open"
ShellExecute(0,cAction,cFileName,"c:\mypic.jpg","",1)
if you want to just open up the jpg in the windows associated app use:
DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32.dll ;
INTEGER hndWin, ;
STRING cAction, ;
STRING cFileName, ;
STRING cParams, ;
STRING cDir, ;
INTEGER nShowWin
cFileName = "C:\mypic.jpg"
cAction = "open"
ShellExecute(0,cAction,cFileName,"","",1)
where the application the file is opened rather then the 1st example where internet explorer was opened with the file

The trick here is to place a copy of your jpeg in your
temp folder, then write an html file to the same place
The HTML code you need is :
Where the ".\myfile.jpg" is your jpeg
Then use the ShellExecute function to open the html file:
HTH

I wonder how your suggestion that relates to loading a jpg in the internet explorer?. Can you expand?

Hi Russ
If you use the HTML file route, you can specify the
size you want the file to be:
But watch out - this will EXPAND smaller images and compress larger ones!

AbashedGoat,
It is sometimes hard to get the exact swing of things in here, been there done that myself. But, you should start your own thread for this question. It is not the same question as this thread... what you are doing is called "thread hijacking", "thread jumping", or even "Off-Topic Posting". The danger in this is that your post will get Red Flagged most of the time and then end up deleted by management (which then makes you, and anyone who answered you, have to start all over again). If you do it often enough and ignore the helpful advice to start your own thread for things like this you can actually get banned from the forum. So, while your question is a good one, try starting your own thread in the "VFP - Web Related Issues"...which incidentally is where this thread should have been started in the first place given that it is dealing with IE/Webpage/Image.
Please know that I am not trying to lecture, just trying to help you avoid future trouble, have the best chance of getting a good response to your question, and save not only you, but other members time and effort that may be wasted when and if one of your questions/posts gets deleted for not following the general rules of TT.
