Opening a jpeg in a picture object

[Max Moor]

Hi All,
I have an Access 2002 database, distributed with Access runtime. At
startup, I display a splashscreen form with a picture object that loads a
JPEG of my logo in its OnCurrent event.

My development PC has everything under the sun installed on it, and
the form loads fine. On my test PC, with only a bare bones Windows 2000 OS
installed, my splash screen can't open my linked JPEG logo.

I found that if I use a BMP, it works fine. Obviously, there is
something native to my development PC, but not in my project, that the
Windows 2000 PC doesn't have.

Is there a reference I can include in my project that will make it
able to load JPEGs? Is it something more sinister?


Thanks for the help, Max

The problem relates to the Office graphic filters.

Works like a charm. I should have known to look around Stephen's site.
Thanks, Allen.
