Paul,

You need ShellExecute(). See

But, like Mike Gagnon, I wouldn't have guessed what you meant by "Windows viewer".

Try something like this:

Browser("c:\myfolder\myjpeg.jpg")


FUNCTION BROWSER
	PARAMETER m.FILENAME,m.LINEPARAMS
	LOCAL LNRETVAL, LCOPERATION
	PRIVATE m.FILENAME,m.LINEPARAMS
	LCOPERATION = "Open"
	IF PCOUNT() < 2
		m.LINEPARAMS = ""
	ENDIF
	IF MYFILE(m.FILENAME)
		DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN SHELL32.DLL ;
			INTEGER handle,;
			STRING @sFile,;
			STRING @lp,;
			STRING @DIR,;
			STRING @dir1,;
			INTEGER ncmd
		LNRETVAL = SHELLEXECUTE(0, LCOPERATION, m.FILENAME, m.LINEPARAMS, "", 1)
	ELSE
		MESSAGEBOX("Unable to locate the specified file : "+m.FILENAME,48,"Problem")
	ENDIF
	RETURN(.F.)
