Hello Rick, 

You could use the RUNRMTCMD CA/400 command to launch images stored on your 
network drive if there's a predefined file naming convention. 

If you're looking for an easy-to-implement solution and are open to 
commercial options, I think you might find our Image Server/400 Document 
Management software to be a compelling option for managing and retreiving 
documents for display. 

For more information check out our web site or contact me directly to 
discuss your specific needs.

The CEO has approached me about establishing an "imaging interface" from
some of our 400 applications to a server on the network chock full of 
jpegs
representing our item catalog.

I know there are 3rd party options in many different forms including, i
think, some Shareware stuff (i.e. Jadvantage by Bos-a-nova has an emulator
with a "right click" string resolution to an image) that make it 
relatively
easy to pass a key (like an item#) through an API to connect down to a
server that has images available for viewing on the requesting PC device.

Is there an API(s)defined somewhere (maybe a TAATOOL?) that can be 
utilized
in house to make this type of connection? Does anyone know of any tried 
and
true software solutions...SHAREWARE or "Pay Per View" that you might want
to recommend?

Thanks for the time everybody.
