Are you falilliar with the Shell VBA command? Try:

Shell "rundll32 shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen " & _
"FullPathAndFilenameOfThePhotoToView.Ext"

If there are spaces int the Path and Filename part you will need to
wrap that part in quotes.

The whole idea seems wrong headed to me, but this is the answer to the
specific question you asked.

You can find what is likely a better solution that will open the
application that is registered on your system to handle the file passed
here.

Thank you! Do you also know if it's possible to embed it in a form?
