    display pdf in userform as a small picture in image box

    hi
    I am trying to show a pdf file in a userform set in an image box,at the minute I use hyperlink from commandbutton4 which looks at textbox15 entry, this all works well ,whatever I double click on in listview box then cmd4(print) that image appears,i thought I could do similar and use hyperlink with imagebox ,but can not get syntax right,never done imagebox before,my idea is whatever one I pick a little picture would appear automatically and if right one click print,have read plenty about loading pictures from worksheet and from a directory,problem with that is my pics are in different directories ie 100unit=100dir,200unit=200dir and so on,has anyone got any ideas please,think some sort of hyperlink seems the right way but im only guessing
    cheers colin

    I don't think you can display PDFs in an image control, because they aren't images.
    If posting code please use code tags, see here.

    You could try a WebBrowser control.

    It's just the wee globe that should be on the Toolbox.

    You can load a PDF to it like this.

    How/when are you trying to load the PDF in the web browser?

    Can you post the code you used?

    You only have this line for the web browser.

    That's only ever going to load one pdf, '50tpipecst.pdf'.

    Do want to load one of the PDFs listed in column O when a user selects from the listbox?

    If you want to load a picture in an image control use LoadPicture.

    By the way, you never really explained the problem with the Webbrowser and pdfs.

    If you wanted to load the relevant pdf you would take the address and filename from column O.
