Default Access 2003 less functional than Access 97?

George you can simply install MS Photo Editor from your OfficeXP or
Office 2000 disk. There are a few caveats though. A googleGroups search
will result in several threads you should read on this issue.

Now we know that using Microsoft Office 2003 we lose the Microsoft Photo
Editor. Since we do not have that the directions of inserting a JPEG
OLE object in an Access 2003 database on a form as an image will not
work. For we do not have the option of choosing Microsoft Photo Editor
because we do not have Microsoft Photo Editor in Microsoft Office 2003.
But we do have Microsoft Photo Manager in Microsoft Office 2003. But
the Microsoft Access 2003 team forgot to include that in the Insert
Object... available Object Type.

Therefore Microsoft Access 2003 is less functional then Microsoft Access
97 because Microsoft Office 97 had the Microsoft Photo Editor and
Microsoft Office 2000 and Microsoft Office XP.

I may sound perturbed and I am. I really do not like upgradeing only to
find out that I have downgraded the functionality of an application I
assumed was being upgraded.

Finally I am noticing that if I choose say an Imaging Document then the
ability to open a New file is not available so even if the Microsoft
Photo Editor existed in Microsoft Office 2003 I suspect the directions
would fail at Resolution step 5.

If anyone has a workaround that mimics what the above article was trying
to solve for Access 2003 I would be forever greatfull. Thanks.
