I need to write an application in VB.net that basically opens a tiff,
gif, jpg, pdf or word doc for viewing only so no altering just taking
information off the item and filling in a form then saving the item
down. What I would like is upon opening this app it brings up the item
in the left hand window and on the right hand have a form down the
side.

I have got the general idea about getting the information off of the
form and saving etc.......Its just opening the item in a window next
to the form that is the problem. I have thought about using IE because
it opens all the above but how do I get the form next to it.

Has anyone got any ideas, I am under pressure to get this done and
this bit seems real tough.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

John
