I am using Office 2000 SP-3 and Windows XP Professional
SR-1. I get the following error when I try to open a
report with a JPEG. "Microsoft Access doesn't support the
format of the file <the name of the JPEG file> so it
can't load the picture". Interestingly, I don't get this
error if I change the the user account from Limited to
Administrator. So it seems that there is some access or
privledge that Limited users don't have. This may be an
OS question but I thought I'd start here.
 
I'd wager you are using an OLE Object to display the report. I wasn't aware
that the O/S had separate associations of file-types with automation servers
for different users, but that is what it would appear to be. Set a file
association for the Limited user and see if that helps.

Or, download the sample databases and article from
http://accdevel.tripod.com and consider using one of the other techniques
that does not employ a "third party" software package to display.
