Thank you, Mike, I am a big fan of IrfanView and have used for many years. This is the message I get:
In any case, it might not help me since I need it to display inside a Forms window…unless IrfanView has command prompts that can do a conversion on the fly. I will look further into it. I might have to create a C++ application that takes the raw data and generates the graph in a picture format. Like I said, It is used in just one place in the application and R:Charts would be way of an overkill.

Flash player used to be included in most browsers but has become outdated and a security risk, so no longer. Flash player plugins are apparently still available for some browsers such as Chrome and Firefox, but apparently not recommended due to security risks, especially Mac’s Safari browser. SWF files can be converted, and will also play using VLC player which is usually a free download. See link below for more information. My guess is conversion is probably the answer. https://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/how-to-open-an-swf-file/ Hopes this helps with the blues clues.

In the pasts I just placed a web browser in the form, and it displayed the SWF picture without any problem; I believe it used the MS Explorer. Apparently, the new browser, Edge, no longer supports SWF files, nor do any of the other browsers as the format has been discontinued. I tried several format converters, but none seems to work with this flavor of SWF. Is there anyway to display a SWF file in and R:Base form? I might be able to get the picture/graph as an Excel graph. Is there any way to display an Excel graph in a form. The last option would be to get the graph as a data set and the use R:Charts to generate the graph. Since the graph is only used in one form, seems like R:Charts would be an overkill. On a separate note, is there a way to globally remove the design password from all forms? I seem to remember there was a way to do it but not having used R:base for a while now, I am somewhat rusty. I have over 200 forms and I would prefer to do them all at once; I seem to remember adding the design password to all the forms globally…but I could be wrong.. ☹ Any ideas or suggestion will be appreciated.
