Pictures on Forms

[John David]

A client wants to have a picture on their customer forms
and I have been able to do this and make it work on my
computer, but for some reason their computer only shows
the icon. This occurs even though the properties
specifically indicate that the content should be viewed
and not the icon.

Can anyone advise as to why my computer can see the
images but theirs defaults to an icon?

Thank you.

It sounds like you are using an Unbound or Bound OLE frame control to
display the images. THis requires the services of an OLE Image server to
display the image. If your customers do not have the exact same Image
program you have registered for thiis Image file type, and that you have
used to insert these images as OLE objects, then they will not be able
to display these images on their computers.

Perhaps you should be using the standard Image control instead as no OLE
Server process is required to display the images.

Newbie question:

"What is a "standar Image control?" and how do you
choose it?

Thanks.,
