how do you want to open the file? Load it into an image object within AMS or open it in the systems configured image viewer/manipulation software?

Load it into an image object within AMS

[TJ_Tigger]

I guess this is what I would do.

Load the image information into the Combobox with the filename is the CB Text and the full path to the file would be the DB Data component.

Place script into the On Select for the Combobox (or the On Click for a button) that would identify the selected object in the CB and then obtain the full path to the file from the Data portion of the selected object. Store this in a variale.

Use the variable from the previous step to load into an image object. Before doing this you may want to do a quick check to ensure that the image object actually exists before trying to load it.

hey jack, i agree with tigg, it helps us and you if you post the code you have and we will look from there

but for what you want to do, i would suggest not spending hours on end trying and spend a few hours researching the available functions and what thay do from the manual

to load a image from a combobox (assumeing the path to the file is already in the data field of the combo)

selData = ComboBox.GetItemData("ComboBox1", e_Selection);
Image.Load("Image1", selData);

and to open the image in the users default image viewer
sel = ComboBox.GetSelected("ComboBox1");
selData = ComboBox.GetItemData("ComboBox1", sel);
File.Open(selData, "", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

of course these are basic codes, you should add some error checking along the way
