If one uses Access to sort and catalogue the photos that are already in folders and subfolders on your hard drive, can you in one of the columns or rather fields make it a link to the actual photo? I know that's not a thumb nail, but is it possible? S. Fasano

I don't know whether this would then be transferrable to Access. I haven't tried this but if anyone would like to, email me privately and=20 I'll send you the two files. One a readme on how to use the macro, the=20 other the macro. They are 26kb and 31kb. Does anyone know how to read the filenames of a folder into a text file? = I=20 remember doing this in DOS days long ago but can't remember what I used.
