I cannot display OLE jpg's while bmp works ok

[Gérard Delhaye]

Is there any kind of viewer setup to able to display jpg files in Access
2000 forms (French version) and report ?
It currently display a small square with a cross in it.
Many thanks in advance.

Two factors may affect this: the Display as Thumbnail property of the Bound
OLE Frame and the automation-enabled image processing software that is
registered for the .JPG file type. One of the drawbacks of using Bound OLE
Frames is that you put yourself at the mercy of whatever software the user
has registered for the file type.

There are alternate approaches illustrated in the database examples that you
can download from http://accdevel.tripod.com. There is also an article
discussing considerations in choosing an approach to use in your database.
