Hi to everyone,
I'm not sure if this question can be still asked.

We have a quite large Inventory database that has forms & report which displays a text field contains path information to a JPG image and an Image control to display the JPG.
The only unfortunate side the Database is created with Access XP.

During all these years we were upgrading MS office, and for Access we used to install XP version instead of the new one. It all worked well so far.
The problem occurs when we installed Office 365, Access XP is still working properly however when displaying Image in aform or report a Progress bar is displaying, flickering and the picture quality becomes too low.

I tried Suppress the "Loading Image" dialog by calling from Module, the flickering mostly went away but pictures are still low quality.
I tried to see if there should be any reference to add but couldn't find.

I think this has to be something in a set up or registry which I'm not at that level.

Hope there will be a quick fix, otherwise we have to accept this way,


Thanks in advance for any help or comment!!
 
Since it was working well so far, we didn't wish to convert it,
 
Clearly, we have to convert the database,
Thank you for the suggestion and tip!
 
I was able to fix it.
Looks like JPEGIMG32.FLT was damaged, I replaced it with a new one.
 
Fortunately, there's no Axtive X or calendar in the database,
I'll try on a smaller database that we have by following your directions.
My concern are the macros, once I had some issue with them that's why I didn't continue converting, let's see how it goes this time,
I'll work on it during the weekend
Thank you for your help and advices!
 
It took me some time but at the end I was able to convert the main database!!
I tried a simple one first, the conversion was fast and easy, but the main database with multiple macros gave me some errors,
To make it easy, I deleted the macros and used VBA instead. fortunately, they were not that many and complicated macros.
And also pictures looks ok, no errors on import.
Thank you so much Pat for your help and Advice, appreciate it.
