speed up pictue load

[susan]

Hello,

How can I (using VBA) start the Windows picture- and faxviewer?
I use XP and Office 2003. Displaying pictures using MyPicture.Picture = ...
is very, very slow.
Can I speed this up or are there other solutions?

Thanks,

Susan

(This is an amateur suggestion. I am NOT an expert.)
If Window Picture and Fax Viewer is your default program for the type
of picture you want to display, I think you could use, for example:

Application.FollowHyperlink ("MyPicture.jpg")
