My image database has no trouble with JPG files as long as they have the
three letter extension, ".JPG".
How can Access display images that also have a file extension of, ".JPEG"?

How about simply renaming the files to the valid 3 character extension?
If for whatever reason you do not want to rename fhe files permanently,
then you could either :
1) Rename them to a temp file at runtime. Load the temp file.
or
2) Use the LoadJpegGif solution on my site to bypass the Office graphics
filters altogether.

Finally, have you tried creating the necessary Registry entries for the
Office Graphics filters to see if they will load a file with a JPEG
extension?

Found my own answer. . .
I did it this way,

add "jpeg" in the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Graphics
Filters\Import\JPEG
