Hello all,
Is there a simple cod in vb 2008 to find a folder on a network and open
a picture from that folder inside the form?

thanks for any of your help.

You can use the System.IO.Direc tory class to find the particular file,
and then depending on what you mean by "open a picture" you can load
the image onto your form or open it with the default program by using
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt(...)

If you're meaning of simply running a file regardless of its
extenstion, you can use System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt passing
proper arguments.

If you just want to display image files on your form, use PictureBox
control on your form and you can load images dynamically using
Picturebox's ImageLocation property.

' Like:
PictureBox1.Ima geLocation = "c:\file.jp g"

Hope this helps,
