Does anyone have any advice as to how to get JPG images into an OLE
Object field? I have created a table that includes this data type,
and allowed Access wizzard to generate a form. I wish to copy various
images from the web (in my initial trials, I copied the files to my
PC), and which generally seem to be JPG files. However, Access
(Access 2000 ver 9.0.2720) does not seem to be able to cope with this.
When I attempt to insert the image (Insert | Object), the form
displays the filename, not the image (double-clicking at this point
does reveal the image, but I’d rather not do this). I can convert the
JPG file to BMP using Paint, but the quality of the image is lost.
Possibly I’m overlooking something. I was really hoping I could copy
& paste the image (ie. Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V) directly from the web and into
my database. Any help would be appreciated.
