Thanks for replying!
If I manually insert a tiff image into the table it appears in the report OK. However, I have another piece of software that is going to scan hundreds of questionnaires and store a 'comments' image in Access automatically.
If an 'OLE Server' is a programme (such as Paint) that manipulates images, am I having difficulties because these automatically-placed images are not linked to an OLE server? Tiff images stored on my hard drive and placed manually into the table are often linked to an image manipulation programme.
I'm not sure if this makes things any clearer.
