Viewing an image from searching an archive using 2 webparts

[SuperSal]

Hi Everyone, I'm currently attempting to create a webpart which opens up IE displaying the contents of tables and documents in an archive. The user would then select a document which would then open the scanned document via an image viewer. This all works fine by using the Page Viewer web part but it opens the image file in the same web part.

I was hoping to be able to have 2 web parts and be able to search through the archive in one web part then view the selected image in another web part.

I have noticed the connections option when editing the webpart but it is greyed out.

Has anyone any idea on how to tackle this problem or could they point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Sal
