I have an Access 2000 database used to print applications. The application
itself was scanned to a tiff format and then inserted as a graphic into the
report. On top of the graphic, I have positioned my controls so that the
data prints in the proper area on the application. When I print the report,
I get a completed application.

When we converted the database to Access 2003, the application no longer
appears in the background of the printed report.

Is there a way to get Office 2003 to recognize tif files as a graphic in a
report in the same way that previous versions did?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

The Tiff Office Graphics filters(among others) are not installed with
Access 2003. This is a change from all previous versions of Access.
The solution is to get hold of the Office XP Legacy Converter Pack (it
will work for Office 2003 as well). The problem is that you can no
longer download the XP Converter Pack due to security concerns.

Instead you are directed to download the Office 2003 Legacy Converter
Pack but as I said it no longer contains the TIF Filters!!!!aarrgghh
The solution is to contact MS PSS and request the XP Pack.
It's too bad someone could not host the XP Converter Pack on their Web
site for easy access. Why don't you ask PSS and I will ask our MVP rep.
