*Solved* .jpg Files Stopped Loading in Image Control (Access 2007)
*Solved:*
This problem was caused by the fact that Office 2010 left behind it's graphics filtering files in the following folder:
C:\program files\common files\Microsoft Shared\GRPHFLT
I copied all of the following files from a computer that had Microsoft Office 2007 installed and now the image frames work properly again. This list includes only the 2007 files:
Original Post:
I use image controls to display pictures in my Access applications using linked .jpg files. Today is the first time I noticed my image control frames will no longer show any .jpg files. I just get an error message when I attempt to load forms that contain image controls. The error message is:
Microsoft Office Access doesn't support the format of the files "C:\mypicture.jpg" or the file is too large. Try converting the file to BMP format.
I'm sure that the files are not too large. These are the same picture files I've always been displaying in these frames.
I've tried running compact and repair - didn't help.
This problem affects all of my databases on this computer.
The only changes that have been made to my machine is that I recently uninstalled Visio 2010 Beta. I have not yet tried to reinstall MS Office 2007 but I have ran the Office Diagnostics and that didn't find any problems, neither did it fix the problem.
