HELP! =) Displaying Images (OLE Objects) in Forms, Reports

[JVFord]

Hello. We were having trouble displaying our photos (inserted as OLE Objects) in our database using Access 2003. (you can think of it as a contacts database where it housed info on the person and also photo(s) of the individual) MS said that problem was that Access 2003 relied on MS Photo Editor (the originating graphics progam) to render the image, so instead of going back and installing MS Photo Editor off MS Office XP, our department decided to upgrade to Access 2007.
Unfortunately, I still see the file names of the images instead of the actual image. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here? I would truly appreciate some help. Thank you so much! =)

Hi

My understanding is that you need to have some image editing software installed, to active as the OLE server.

Yup, it was a big PITA when MS dropped their app. However, I have found that any decent image software should be OK (IrfanView works well & is FREE!)

HTH
