Hi;

Have a form that has an Ole bound object control.

Up until a few weeks ago it displayed the photo, now it only shows the name
of the file.

Matched the properties of my form to the properties on NWind.mdb sample from
Microsoft and still no go.

Searched the newsgroup and other people have had this occur for them. The
answers were statements: "Don't insert the picture, Link it." "Why would
you want to do that?"

The question still remains: Why has the picture stopped displaying?

Anyone have any ideas?

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.
