I have a form with a bound object frame. I have in the past been able to use
insert object from the menu to insert a picture into this field. The
pictures are in jpg format. I have tried the database in both MSAccess2000
and MSAccessXP format.

At present the pictures I want to insert are only coming in as the file
name. If you double click on the file then the picture will open up in Photo
Editor. I want to be able to see the picture in the frame on the form.
The "Display Type" property is set to "Contents" and not "Icon". The "OLE
Type Allowed" is set to "Either". I want the picture to be Embedded and not
linked!

This was all working before but I am not sure what happened. Any Ideas?

ps: I've just noticed that bmp file will insert as pictures but jpg, gif and
wmf file type will not. The come in as the name of the file only.

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks for your reply James.
The problem with using an image control is that I can't bind it to a record.
I think I need to use the OLE frame.

Any othe help greatly appreciated.
