Well then you could setup a grid of PDF viewers (maybe 6 or 8) and a couple of Bit buttons (forward and back) and a table holding the path to the PDF and just change all the PDF viewers to show 6 or 8 at a time. Click on the one you want and click a launch button and you have it. Not to far from the calendar program I wrote all those years ago or even a white board program that I have now.

Larry and others: All have suggested methods for display one PDF file based on clicking on a region's row, which I do know how to do and suggested to the client originally. However, he wants to see all the PDFs in one screen so his people can glance at multiple rows and compare the pictures. I was 99% certain this could not be done, just wanted verification. Related questions: (1) Can PDF files be loaded into a Varbit field and displayed that way? I tried the usual and it doesn't load, no error just doesn't load: insert into imagefile (longvarbitcol) values ['invoice.pdf'] (2) Is there a way to convert a directory full of PDF files into JPG files? Karen I doubt you can add a PDF viewer to a scrolling region. Anyway, it would be awfully tiny.
