Thanks Troy/Mark, (Sounds like to do this in Rbase we may need a DLL to support multi page TIF's)
The new Launch command makes "whatever you decide is best" transparent to the user. Originally, my user was saving bmp's in the data base. That got unwieldy very quickly. They now save scanned documents (safety data sheets) with logical/unique filenames associated with part numbers. They get a popup list of X number of file names (individual scanned pages) associated with the part/commodity they are viewing. The drawback is the repetitive call up of sheets until they find the appropriate page/section they are looking for. They are using a printscreen utility to print out the desired section(s). To be able to scroll down through all associated pages is more desireable. And, back to my original point, the Launch command could take them out to another program to do this more effectively than within Rbase.
