Hello to anybody who can help:

I have set up a table with a field for jpeg images; the
field is a ole field that is linked to the image. When I
run the report all I see is the name of the jpeg
image...when I go to the table and click on the image it
is automatically activacted to display the image. Is
there a way for the report to display on the images?

Thanks in advance to anybody who can help!

The sample imaging databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com illustrate three
approaches to handling images in Access, and the download includes an
article discussing considerations in choosing an approach. Two of the
approaches do not use OLE Objects and, thus, avoid the database bloat
associated with images in OLE Objects, as well as freeing you from whatever
limitations are imposed by the imaging software registered for the file-type
on the user's system.

If you are printing the images in reports, to avoid memory leakage, you
should also see MVP Stephen Lebans' http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm.
PrintFailure.zip is an Access97 MDB containing a report that fails during
the Access formatting process prior to being spooled to the Printer Driver.
This MDB also contains code showing how to convert the contents of the Image
control to a Bitmap file prior to printing. This helps alleviate the "Out of
Memory" error that can popup when printing image intensive reports.
