 How to open Windows Apps from Access

I have a database with one image per record, I am displaying the image
on a form using Linked Image Control.

I need to edit the image using a specific graphic editor, for example
Photoshop.

How can I call the application and feed the record to be edited.

Thanks

try Call Shell("path\graphiceditor.exe path\image")
if the path of the image is located in a field and you are launching the
graphic editor from a form with this field, try:
Call Shell("path\graphiceditor.exe " & forms!frmName!imagefield)

look up Shell function and AppActivate function in the help.
