Preview document in second userform

[karn]

I have a simple file search user form that uses property tests to list all documents that meet the authors requirement. I would like to be able to set if clicked that a second user for opens and displays a preview of the selected document. On loss of focus the second form is closed and focus return to the first userform. Is this possible?

What exactly do you mean by "displays a preview of the selected document"?

Want something like the preview in the open dialog without using open.

I know of no way to do this on a userform. If someone else does know, please post how to do this. There are aspects in all Microsoft applications that use things not exposed to VBA.

I suspect that the preview in the Open dialog is one of these.
