Raising this thread from the dead...
Ok, I have followed/read the above, and am not having much luck.
I am using Access 2003, and would like a form to display the packages embedded in my table. I used this method [
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/198466 ] to embed the jpgs under class Paint.Picture.
...so I reinstalled the OffXP Photo Editor to gain access to an OLE server...
Yet, to see the image, I still need to double click on the form's bound image control area that cycles through the image's filename for each record. (NOTE: after double clicking and launching the 'package' [which is a jpg] I then see an icon, rather than just the filename - not sure if that is relevant.)
When I copy/paste in an image from MS photo and fax viewer, embedding that type of image (rather than the jpg) it works, so I presume my form is set up acceptably.
Unfortunately this db is going to be populated with embedded images from a ID badge making software system (not mine), so I can't link and must embed. I was just hoping to use the embedded jpgs due to the bloat involved with images like bmp.
Should I have just embedded using a different class? I used, as suggested in the above article "Paint.Picture".
Thoughts?
Thanks!
