There is only ONE

Please take a look at this article:

You will see that it says:

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:

I looked and looked but I can see only one workaround for this issue:

Namely to install PhotoEditor from Microsoft Office XP. Now that seems strange to me. Are they saying that I must purchase Microsoft Office XP to fix this issue? Microsoft Office XP is no longer available in my neck of the woods. How can I fix this issue if I don't have Microsoft Office XP? I understand that I can choose not to use an OLE Object but I'm hoping we can use an OLE object and get this to work correctly with what comes with Microsoft Office 2003. Thanks.

That article lists 2 solutions. The second one is entitled "Display the
Images from a Folder":

"Instead of storing the images inside the table as OLE objects, you can
store the image file paths and the image names in the table and then display
the images by using an image control. When you use an image control inside a
form or a report, Access does not require the OLE Server to display the
images in the image control."

It then refers you to http://support.microsoft.com/?id=285820

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of this:

"As a result, Access 2003 cannot find the OLE Server that can display an image file (such as a .jpg file or a .gif file), and you cannot view the embedded graphic files or the linked graphic files..."

Can we help Access 2003 "find the OLE Server that can display an image file (such as a .jpg file or a .gif file)" or is that something it can only do if Photoeditor from Microsoft Office XP is installed?
