Error message OLE object not registered???

[Jan Szymczuk]

I have created an MSAccess 2000 Database that has a couple of OLE Object
fields that hold photos and Map locations (which I upload in JPG format), On
the form I have the Photo and Map location images control Dislay Type set to
Content, on my laptop, when I can see the photo or map location as a
thumbnail and simply double click and it is enlarged into a bigger image in
my default imaging viewing software (eg., Microsoft Photo Editor), when I
transferred the database over to another computer, and tried to double click
on a thumbnail, I recieved the OLE Object not registered message, any ideas
as to how I can get the image opening function to work on the desktop as it
does on my laptop?

Here is a ref to a post by Stephen Lebans which may answer your
question but which may also persuade you that there are easier ways to
deal with images in Access than to hold them in OLE objects.
