Best format to embed pictures

[darkmastergyz]

What's the best format to embed pictures into access? I'm currently embedding a 200kb jpeg background, and I'm noticing flicker when I change tabs. Should I use bitmap to remove the flicker I have, or is there anything else I can do? thanks.

If, by chance, you're using Access 2003 and Windows XP, turn off the Windows XP themes.

Mainly, I'm wondering what format images (jpg, bmp) I should upload to my form.
