I'm getting an error, not sure if it's because the file extentions are actully jpg instead of jpeg, intellisence wouldn't give me jpg. it would be nice to be able to open in paint, but i just heard that it's ok if they have to squash the images to one page, they can see them huge on their screens if they need to see them better (still that would be nice to open in paint tho). this is a click once app running on laptops, so i can fix that later if i can, here's the error i got, and thanks for your help! very much appreciated!
