I will vouch for Howie's code in conjunction with Viewprint. I could 
never get the image to display across a network running '98. This made 
the image popup only on the cpu where filePro resides, so never used it.
I have viewprint v8.0.

Just now I tried it across the network and it works great running on XP 
Pro across the network !!!

With the Viewprint window open on top of the filePro window, press X and 
the Viewprint window goes away first, Then the filepro window on the 
second X. Or, you could move to the next filePro record, press the image 
@key and there is the next image in the same spot, same size as before.

Running filePro in a window, you can easily <--> size the viewprint 
image window to fit a spot on your filePro screen. Viewprint retains 
that image size until you change it by expanding it <--> or by windows 
maximizing/minimizing.  If it helps, Vueprint lets you rotate the image 
in the window using the End key.
