I've been trying to copy bitmaps from a Powerpoint presentation to the clipboard, then paste (embed) it in a bound frame on a form in access. The bound form is set to an OLE object...just like the sample Northwind database (employees form).

The picture displays in the form ok, but, then access crashes when I flip back to this record (it looks so easy in the manual!!!)

The debugger seems to be confused by the pallette of the new picture. I have many pictures; how do I set the pictures to the default access palette?

Thanks in advance, KL

The other thing you could try is creating a new blank database and importing all the objects from the existing one into the new one. It's possible the existing one has just collected a lot of crud in the background and needs a good clear out. Remember to take any custom toolbars as well and you will need to recompile your code and add in any reference libraries you might need. Worth a try.

I have the same problem (crashing) when I try to paste the powerpoint bitmap directly into the Northwind Employee form (Northwind being the sample database that comes with access) ??????
