Thank you for the focus and, information on the bound fields! I did exactly
what you said however, it did not work.

I am getting: HEADING - Microsoft Photo Editor "Unknown File Format" (Click
OK), THEN: HEADING - Microsoft Access "There Was A Problem Loading The OLE
Object" (NEXT LINE): The object you tried to create or edit is not valid OLE
object. Re-create the object and then embed or link it again" (CLICK OK)

Wayne-I-M, I did discover something that might help!

When you RIGHT click in the Bound Frame, you bring up the menu (of course).
And you move down to "Insert Object". You get, of course, the Insert Object
window. It you look at the top/middle of the window you will see the
title/field "Object Type:". With anything I try that field comes up with:
"UNKNOWN TYPE". And, of course if you try to continue, you will get the
messaages: HEADING - Microsoft Photo Editor "Unknown File Format" (Click
OK), THEN: HEADING - Microsoft Access "There Was A Problem Loading The OLE
Object" (NEXT LINE): The object you tried to create or edit is not valid OLE
object. Re-create the object and then embed or link it again" (CLICK OK)

Do you have any other Ideas?

Thank YOU for helping me!

Hi

1st - it helps if you reply to answer to a post in the same post that way it
is esier to see all the comments and questions.

Anyway.

There are 3 possibilties.
Your MS Photoeditor is bust. - Reload photoeditor from the original disk

Your OLE frame is bust - delete it and insert another - see if this works.

When you loaded SP2 you renamed the pictures (or - somehow not sure how)
altered the format - or, more likely just the file extention.

To check this - (not in access). Click start - my computor - go to where
the pictures are and right click them. Select "open with". Then try
photoeditor. If they will not open with this then try an other picture
(normally one of the samples that come with windows. If these "will" open
then it's your pictures that are bust and you will need to either
Fix them in something like corel or photoshop - open the pic and then click
export and select BMP - DO THIS ON A COPY OF THE PICTURE NOT THE ORIGINAL.
Reload the orginal pictures from - scan - neg - cd -etc
