I have saved jpegs as an OLE linked object and they don't show up in the
forms or reports. The file name is the only thing that shows. How can I get
these photos to show up on the forms and reports?
 
Darrell,

In reports I use an image control. In the section's On
Format event set the picture property to the path and name
of your image (c:\pickies\mypicture.jpg)or the field name
that contains the path and name of the image. UNCs also
work.

If you have lots of images to print / display look at
using bitmaps, Access seems to work better with them. I
get into trouble if printing more than 500 non bitmaps
(and still have problems at around 5000 bitmaps).

Forms are similar although I can't recall the event to use
to have the image update ...... anyone else out there?.
And I recall having no end of problems if using continuous
forms with different images on each record.

HTH
