Linked images (backgrounds for forms and buttons) don't display, A

System: Win7/64; MS Access/Office 2007; SQL Server 2005 on networked server
with shared folders on same server. ADP Project.

Project menus and forms contain linked images ( 30) as eye-candy. No
problem for months of development. (Make minor change to arbitrary SQL view
and add rich text box to menu form. Probably no relationship to problem).

Compact, reload. All images no longer display. Able to create new form in
project and load linked image. Able to re-browse and link image to button.
All image paths are absolute paths. Previous version, absent minor changes
located on same server, same location, same SQL still displays images.

A test user was not able to see images for a month, while second, along with
self were. Problem suddenly disappeared for test user. No I get it....
