Hi guys,

Sorry to be asking this question again. Yes I have gone thru all the posts which are linked to inserting images to gif, jpg files.
The problem I am facing is a lil strange as I had finished designing the DB and inserted a unbound OLE object frame for inserting images in my form. My DB is such that it requires an image to be inserted for each record. So that could mean hundreds of images. Everything was working fine and I was able to insert gif/jpg files by right clicking and using the "insert" command.

Suddenly today, just a few days before I am due to give the DB to the clients, all the images are appearing as small icons in the frame. It does not accept gif/jpg files. It accepts only .bmp files. Some people have suggested making another table and inserting links to the images rather than embedding the images themselves. Again, it only accepts only bmp files. I cant figure out how this has suddenly changed. I am using MS access 2000. I cannot afford to insert .bmp files as their size is really big and not suitable for my project.

I am also getting an " OLE server communication error" and an "active x error".
I read on the microsoft website that OLE error is mainly due to norton antivirus. But I do not use norton antivirus. I use AVG.

So if anyone can please help me out as this is quite urgent and I have to deliver the DB in few days time. Thanks in advance.
