Opening an image file in Paint from a form

Opening an image file in Paint from a form

I'm embarrassed to ask this. I have a form with a bound object frame
which displays an embedded bitmap stored in the table that the form is
based on. How do I, by single or double click, get the image to open
in Paint (the current Windows file association). I'm reduced to using
SendKeys and I'm sure there are more elegant ways
