Thank you, Ivan,
your short script is way better than what I have used before to call a 
viewer-program (acdsee or irfanview) to have a full-scale view of large 
images, I'm glad to use it from now on.
Dhtmledit on the other hand allows to integrate images in Paradox forms, 
images perfectly scaled to fit. As dhtmledit is even more obsolete as 
Paradox (the latter is still being sold, after all), I wonder whether 
there was any alternative to that - still working - OCX-control 
Microsoft gave up in 2006 or so. How else can I show jpg-images in 
Paradox forms? Are there any other solutions around?
