I still see filenames in access after using .bmp files for images

[mike1312]

I am trying to create a report in Access 2003 using images to dispplay in
records. After converting my images from jpeg to bmp using picture manager,
i still see only filenames and icons in my report and "Package" in my
populated field. am i doing something wrong?

Try using the database at:

http://www.datastrat.com/Download/Picture2K.zip

to generate filenames and image displays. If you still see icons, it may be
because you don't have a registered OLE server as the default image display
program on your machine.

ok, well that worked, i can see the images in the images in your sample
database. but how do i translate that into getting pictures into my database
i have.
