"File format not supported"

[DJ44]

This problem has cropped up now an again and I never understand why .

I am displaying numerous images in a ImageControl. They (usually) display fine. When I go into the database now, the image appears to load when the form is opened (as it should) and then I get the message
DbName doesn't support the format of the file: FileName.jpg. so it can't load the picture.

It did support the format yesterday. I have a small database to test some code that loads the exact same images using the same code and they load fine.

Is there a property in the database that must be set???

I am using A2k and Win98SE

Thanks. DJ

Make sure you have got the 'jpg interchange format' filter installed. It should install automatically with Office 2K but you have to do it manually with stand alone Access.

Thanks for the post.

The filters are installed. I have a smaller database that I created to test various code, one of which was one developed to open the form and display the images. It works fine on the same computer, displaying the exact same pictures from the exact same file path.
