.Jpg Picture will not import using Access Runtime.

[LD]

I have developed a Access 2002 database that uses Code to import/link
pictures into unbound object frames.... here's the glitch --- When I deploy
the program using Access Runtime & MS Word is not in the Computer the
import/linking proceedure/code does not show the image in the unbound object
frame.
I have found if MS Word in the computer then .jpg will link & linked picture
will be viewed in the unbound object frame.. I have no problems viewing
pictures with extentions - .bmp using only Access Runtime in the Computer -
but my clients will be using both the .bmp & .jpg extentions...... Obviously,
here are files in MS Word to make this happen or the code I have written
would not work.... Does any body know what files in MS Word is uses OR what
file references I need to use so I can include them in my Installation
Package.....

I don't know which files you need, but there is a bigger issue.
It would not be legal to install a Word file on a computer that does not
have a license for Word.

Totally understand twhy Microsoft may not like to have any of MS Word's files
in a installation program but if they have the Unbound Object Frame in the
Access Program & the Runtime cannot be used for the linking of .jpg file
extention then why have Unbound Object Frames in Access in the in the first
place.... or at the least include the files in Access Runtime so it is
functional to us Developers.......

My need is to have in some way have .jpg extentions show up in Computers
that do not have MS Work in them.. I understand it is rare but I have had
complants....

The Unbound OLE Frame control relies completely on an external application
to render the image. Access has little to do with this process.
This still does not resolve your issue as the Runtime does not expose
support for JPG via the standard Image control. There is a workaround on my
site here:

A2KLoadJpegGifGDIPlus.zip is an update to the function to allow for the
Display of Jpeg and Gif files on systems that do not have the Office Graphic
Filters installed. TIF and PNG formats are now supported via the Microsoft
GDI+ DLL.

If you do not need TIFF support then an older version is here:
A97LoadJpegGif.zip is a database containing a function to allow for the
Display of Jpeg and Gif files on systems that do not have the Office Graphic
Filters installed. Here is the A2K version: A2KLoadJpegGif.zip
