auto resize images

[mazza]

When importing an image (jpeg or bmp) such as logo's access doesn't seem to resize the file/image to fit the object.

I have an unbound object in a report that linkes to a path in one of the tables. When I change the path in order to change the imigae I want displayed the image file must have the correct measurements otherwise it is far too big for the unbound object frame.

Does any one know how to resize imiage files so it will fit the frames?

Have you tried right clicking on the object in design view and selecting "Stretch" on the size mode? The only problem is that the image will start to become distorted after a certain size.

Yeah the strech is ok for enlarging, but not for shrinking.
The problem is that some bmp or jpeg files are relatively big, when you want to use it for Logo's. Yes by using paint or other programs you can shrink the image, but I was wondering if it was possible in access. Word and excel are much more forgiving when it comes to images.
