diplay a picture in an OLE control

[Guest]

When I import a JPEG into the OLE control I have to double click it to get it
to display. How can I just have the picture open within the OLE frame when I
open the form? thx.

You need to have a suitable 'OLE Server' application installed and registered for the file-type. For jpeg
this is typically 'MS Photo Editor'. Note that this application was withdrawn in Office 2003, so you'll
need to install it from your Office XP disks. Note also that there are various problems with this approach,
most notably a storage overhead of anything from 20 to 200 *times* the original file size (and corresponding
performance overhead), plus compatability and configuration problems and more.
