I have discovered by going over and over again that you can use the insert object, create from file, select Microsoft Clip Gallery and import your .jpeg conversions to .bmp files into that and thus into your Access photo/ole fields. It does not revert to Package but stays as Microsoft Clip Gallery. When returning to the form it works just fine. There might be some sizing/format changes you would want to make for the cosmetics. I found you can also write some code and use the samples that are in the Northwind.mdb employees files. I am not that far into my programming so I have opted to do it this way for now. Good luck.
