Hi Stephen,

I just checked and "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" is the registered
program for BMP, JPG, GIF files. Hope that helps. Let me know if you need
more information.

Thanks for your help!

Jeff

What is the original Image file format you are inserting?
What program is acting as the OLE Image server to embedd the Images(What
program is registered to handle the file extension of the images)?

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to create a small database for a collection I have and need
to
add an image for each item. As this collection will never exceed 300
objects, I thought I might embed a small image of each item. The
problem is,
no matter what I try (embedding or linking to an outside file), the
image
quality on my Access form is VERY BAD. I'm assuming that Access must
create
its own thumbnail of this image and; therefore, no matter what I try I
can't
seem to get anything better. I've done a lot of experimenting with the
actual images (making them smaller, etc), but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
