How do I display linked TIFF images within Access 2003?

Case Cybermancer

I have developed an application using Access 2002 and it now needs to be
migrated to Access 2003. I generate a number of reports having a list of
individuals' details and their associated photos -- these images can only be
provided in TIFF format and will be frequently updated.

In Access 2002 all works as expected without errors. In Access 2003 it
complains that the TIFF format is not supported and that I should convert
the images to BMP or GIF -- similar behaviour occurs with reports and forms.
As the images will be frequently updated, batch converting a few thousand
images every couple of days is not a viable option.

Oddly enough, I can insert the link to a TIFF image into Word 2003 and
PowerPoint 2003 without a problem. Unfortunately, not in Access 2003!

Any useful input will be greatly appreciated.

TIA
