OLE Object Data Type Question
Hi, a friend of mine supports a very simple Access 2000 database for keeping
tracks of his .JPG file. The database has a table with several field, and one of them is of OLE Object data typy. He opens that table, rightclicks OLE Object field, selects Insert Oject and creates a link to a .JPG file. After finishing insertion the OLE Object field contains kind of "MSPicture3" or "MSImage3" (I don't remember exactly the text). Before a month ago he moved his database to another computer and now after insertion into the OLE Object field a link, it contains "Packet" text and the form which shows the pictures does not work properly. Why the text of that OLE Object changed and is it possible to restore the former text in that field. Thank in advance, AK |

OLE Object Data Type Question
The probable cause is that the new computer doesn't have an OLE server, or
the OLE isn't registered for JPG file types. MS-Paint is an OLE server, Try associating JPGs with MS-Paint, and rebooting the machine. If should work properly. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "Anatoly Kurilin" wrote in message ...
