Loading image dialog box crashes access

I have many reports with linked images. When the report opens a quick dialog box comes up saying "Loading image". Since i have converted to Access 2003 something weird happens when the database window is open and the reports tab is selected: If the mouse pointer just rests over a report with a linked image the dialog box comes up repeatedly until the mouse moves off it. If i leave it over for more than a few seconds Access crashes and the database is corrupted beyond repair! Anybody else had this?

Are you converting to 2003 or from 2003 to 2007?
 
From 2000 to 2003. It does it on all computers. I have disabled the dialog box in the registry now but it is still doing the process as you can see the mouse pointer changing to timer as it hovers over the report icon
 
2007 seems to have improved Image Control over 2003. If yo are using "Linked" images, I would guess you have a corrupted image file or some code that corrupted in the converting process. I would export one of the reports,the supporting tables and queries to a new database and test the images and the code there. Once you find the problem, make the repairs the the main database.
