Do a search for Thumbs Plus (or else ThumbsPlus, no space).  It is
shareware or freeware and will catalog graphic files and provide
thumbnail images, althougth it does not work with VdB 7.01.

Thanks for the info ... I really need, though, to tie something into my app
... not to have the pictures in a separate program, requiring a second query
outside of visual dbase for viewing. The user in what I'm working on views
fields describing certain equipment and I want to link a table with pictures
(interfaced through graphics thumbnails) to an equipment list. Probably a
good programmer can do this with three lines of code. I can't. Getting an
"off the shelf" thumbnail product would save me posting lots of inane
questions to this newsgroup.

You could also pay us to develop it for you in VdB. DM 80 / hour and we're
ready to go :-). A simple solution would be pretty slow, though, one would
probably need to make use of a picture-scaling DLL and store the thumbnails
together with the full-size pictures in order to speed up displaying. You
may also want to check out http://www.activex.com and
http://www.developer.com for ActiveX controls.

Plk - You do it without writing any lines of code at all <g>.

Open the Form Designer, drag an image object from the control palette onto 
the form and adjust the size to whatever you want by dragging the lower 
right corner.  Now open the inspector and set the view to the table 
containing the images, or to a query that includes the table.  Then click 
on the wrench by the data source field in the inspector and specify the 
source of the image.  Set the Location to Binary, then select the field.  
Voila!

Obviously, some images will reduce to thumbnail size better than others, 
but you can adjust the size (and shape) of the image as needed and VdB will 
do its best to accommodate.
