Wow, the monkeys above were a great help it looks like.
You can resize an image smaller without any problems at all. In photoshop, just crop the image to the desired size and make sure the resolution box is empty.
However, if you wanna go, bigger. That's still possible. Crop the image from a 5x7 to an 8x10 (set the resolution of the crop tool to 120 if it's lower). Then, use Filters->Sharpen->Unsharp mask adjust the radius and threshold then ok out of it. Then open up just the Blue channel and apply a slight gaussian blur to it. There you go, you now have a 5x7 that will print up to an 11x14 with superior sharpness

Use a lossless format like PNG. Making a picture larger will never improve quality, but a good interpolation program is Genuine Fractals (plug-in for PS).

If you are using photoshop upsize the image 10% at a time. This helps save information in the photo so it doesn't loose all its quality.

If you want a bigger image, you'll lose quality. You can obviously resize it from larger to smaller without losing quality. I think the best quick and simple viewer out there is irfanview. It's free.

There is a specific formula for calculating the required dpi for resizing. The way to resize without loss of quality is to use the formula.
