I have a form that has a boundcontrol on it (kodak Thumbnail viewer) The path for the image is stored in a memo field. What I need to do is create a button that when clikced will open the image in full view, how can I ackomplish this. (The Database is a linked SQL Database so the memo field storeds an actual location for the image)

Why not create a popup form that has an image control on it and shows your image.
it can appear after you double clock on the control that you use to show the thumbnails.

I have done something similar in my CrownBase app.

I viewed your CrownBase and I haev to say that it is a great idea the way you have it but how do I set that up on my program. Is there a wizard or do I need to do code with a bound controler

THere is no wizard, you will just have to code/design it yourself.
BUt, once you have the path to the image, it is no big deal to set the image source for your image control (be aware that I a referring to an image control and not an olebound control, an image control does not have a controlsource).

Say, you have a (modal)form with an image control on it and it is called from a method from your thumbnail form:

PROCEDURE ShowImage
LOCAL loForm, lcMyImageReference

lcMyImageReference = This should come from the place where you stored your image path

loForm = CREATEOBJECT('MyImageShowForm')
WITH loForm
.imgImageControl.Picture = lcMyImageReference && the path to your image
.Show()
ENDWITH

ENDPROC

BTW you can also download the source code of CrownBase and have a look how I did it, because I store the raltive path of the image as well and do something almost exactly like I stated above.
