Access RUNTIME

[Lubos]

Hi all.
I have problem with form for viewing pictures. If I use apllication using full MS Access I haven't any problem. I can see BMP, JPG, GIF ... But if I open appllication using runtime I cannot open JPG file. Runtime show error to transfer picture to GIF or BMP. Where is the problem?

Access itself was loaded (along) with Office, for which you have the option to include various alternative image formats.

The Runtime version doesn't do that, I guess. But you might be able to check for whether there is an association for JPG on your system. Can you find a JPG file, double-click it, and open it?

I have found that you must have MS Word loaded in order to view pictures.

Good observation, spowers21. Office products such as WORD use the "normal" way of linking to the .DLL files that process images. Once any of them are loaded, I suppose Access Runtime can "see" the .DLL files, too. Sort of a "piggyback" access. I'll bet it would also work if PowerPoint was loaded, since PP, too, has the ability to view .JPG files.
