Hello

We see a difference between AccessXP and Access2003 when we want to import
TIF graphics in forms.
TIF files are not selectable with Acc2003, but are with AccXP. All graphic
fiters are installed, SP1 is installed and it's Off prof. ML version.
Does someone knows what's the problem. Thanks for any suggestion.

in it. The images are scanned images of documents. The data field type is
OLE object. that,
once the data was located, would display the image.

Tif filters have be left out of Office 2003. They do exist, however, but
you'll need to contact Microsoft support and ask them for the "Office
Converter Packs for Microsoft Office XP users". It took considerable whining
and coaxing for me to get them, but they did make them available. That was
over 6 months ago however (times may have changed). The Office Converter
Pack for Microsoft Office 2003 is the one in current use, but I don't
believe it has Tif filters. The KB article that mentions that they are no
longer distributed is:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822346

They may tell you that they are no longer available, but if you offer to
name your first born after the tech, it may work.
