Displaying JPG images

[Don Coleman]

I am beginning testing on different methods to display JPG images of 
medications.  I know this is a feature available in fPGI but the 
customer is concerned over the price of that product and the number of 
client licenses required so I am trying to exhaust all other options 
first.  Without using fPGI I would ultimately like to while scanning 
(bar-code) a prescription have the image displayed in a second window, 
perhaps using the Windows Tiling feature. 

As a first step I set up an @KEY routine to display the image via 
Internet Explorer (chosen because it will be installed on each of the 
WIN2000 & XP clients currently in use).  However, using the code posted 
below I cannot restore control to my fP app. until I close the IE 
window.  Anyone know of a better way of doing this and also, if it is 
possible to using the Tiling feature w/i Windows to have my fP app. plus 
my image being displayed side by side?  TYIA.
