I know just enough about Access to get into trouble, so sorry if this is a
dumb question. My school is using a program to save pic id with name and id
number to create badges. I was asked to see if there was a way to pull the
information so that it could be viewed as a report. This report would show
more than one picture and name on a page. This is where I am having a
problem because the program is saving the image in the database. When I try
to access the database to make the report it shows a blank space for the
image but doesn't display. Instead it gives the following error......

a problem occurred while microsoft access was communicating with the ole
server or active x control

I am not sure what to do or if there is anything I can do since I have never
stored images in this fashion.

Thanks
 
If you open the table that contains the field that holds the image, what do you see displayed in the field
? (probably something like "MS Photo Editor Object", "Bitmap", "Package", "Long Binary Data", "MS Paint
Object")
 
It is stored in the Long binary. It is better to store the images outside
the database?
