What is an OLE server, how do I find it on my machine and how do I register
each type of image format.

Stephan Lebans mentions this in one response that he gives on Sept 1 for
the Subject: Insert pictures/images.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated as I have been trying to solve the
picture link problem for some days now.
 
In this case the OLE server is simply an Image/paint program that:
1) Can function as an OLE Image server
2) Is registered to handle the specific Image file types you want to
insert into the OLE obect field.

In most cases, MS Photo Editor is used as the OLE Server program. It
must though, be setup as the default/registered handler for the image
file types in question.

The simplest method to associate a program with a specific file
extension(BMP,JPG,etc.) is to:
1) Open a folder containing the Images you want to insert.
2) Right click on a file while holding down the SHift key.
3) From the popup menu select "Open With".
4) Scroll down the Open With Dialog window until you find MS Photo
Editor and select it.
5) Check the Always use this program to open this file type CheckBox
control.
6) Click OK.

Repeat the steps once for each different type of Image file you want to
embedd in your table.

Thanks. But if I don't have MS Photo Editor and I want it how do I get it.
I looked in the add-ins on the CD for Office 2003 and it is not there. Then
I looked on the 2002 and it is there. When I install only this where do I go
to activate it so that it appears in the list Open with.

This is becoming encouraging. At least now things are begining to make
sense. Thanks so much for your help.
 
Lois I thought this was all explained in the other thread you quoted.
SImply install MS Photo Editor from your Office XP disk and then follow
the stpe by step instructions in my previous post to this thread.
