OLE Object Image not showing

[trekgoes2malaysia]

Perhaps there is a simple solution to my problem. I am trying to
display photos of clients on a form. I have followed the instructions
given in my ACCESS 2003 manual for embedding images on a form from a
table but the end result displayed is the file name (alexpic.jpg) and
not the image. What am I doing wrong??

don't store photos in OLE fields
store filepaths to jpg instead

if you have to do it in msa2k3 then
go read
http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0030.htm

preferably do it in msa2k7 where the an image control can be directly bound
to filepath
