I think this is something simple, I cannot get my
imported ole objects (jpgs) to display the contents, all
that appears is the filename?

Am using O2K, Any suggestions welcum

I built a form, u left click over the empty picture box
and insert object/from file/, but Just the filename
appears, even when I create a report to print the
dbase. ?

Found this at Access support center:
258644 ACC97: A Linked JPEG File Is Displayed as an Icon on a Form.
W/this resolution:
Open the Employees table in Datasheet view.
Right-click the OLE Object field, and then click Insert Object.
In the Insert Object box, click Create New.
Under Object Type, click Microsoft Photo Editor 3.0 Photo, and then click
OK. Microsoft Photo Editor opens.
In Photo Editor, in the New dialog box, click Open an Existing Picture, and
then browse to the JPEG file that you want to insert.
Click the JPEG file. The picture opens in Photo Editor.
On the File menu, click Exit and Return to tablename : Table.

Although it states that it is for ACC97 it also works for ACC2K. It isn't
the final answer because I had to re-insert all of the photos, but it's a
start.

I tried what Andy suggested, but I don't have Microsoft Photo Editor. It came bundled with Office 97.

Is there a more up-to-date program that functions the same way?
