Hi! I'm using an image control to link pictures to a table. Everything has
been working great until I moved everything to a computer with access 2003.
Then I get the message:
"A problem occured while microsoft access was communicating with ole server
or activex control "
The line causing the problem seems to be this:
..Action = acOLECreateLink
If I use:
..Action = acOLECreateEmbed
it works fine.
What's also interesting is that it works with .bmp-files but no other
graphic file. If I change the extension to bmp (from gif, jpg or whatever)
it works. Bmp files are associated with Paint. If I associtate other files
with paint, it doesn't work either. (And sometimes is doesn't work at all
until I restart the Access.)
(It's not a references problem.)
Any clues?
(What is also funny is that it works on *some* Access 2003 computers...)
