    Open a photo whose path is contained in a field with the windows default photo viewer

    Hi



    I am a new access user. I have managed to create a form which contains a short text field containing the path to a photo and an OLE field showing the photo preview. All well so far. However I want to open the photo in the default windows photo viewer and cannot see any help online as to how to accomplish that. Can anyone help me. I want to click a button or indeed even the OLE field and for it to use the path in the short text field to locate and open the photo.
