Old trouble with embedded images

[Nash]

I'm having trouble embedding bmp images in a database. Field is OLE
bound, display set to zoom, contents, but when I go to Insert Object,
from file, all I get is a miniscule icon of that image with its file
name under it.
I read relevant articles on this group and they all state it's a
matter of an undefined OLE server program for that type of file.
So I went and checked. BMP files open with Paint, so it should be OK
right? What is the problem? Should I check something in references or
somewhere else in Access?

TIA,
Nash

Re: Old trouble with embedded images

Did a bit more digging in MS Knowledge Base and found it:
It's not enough to simply change ownership of file type in Windows
Explorer, you have to completely remove that file type from the list
of registered file types, and then you have to uninstall and re-
install the server application, in this case Paint...
Pain in the...

Anyway, for future reference, article ID is 177587 or
