Display images in OLE objects

[Guest]

I would like see the picture only and not the location of the image (like in
a product database) How?
Thanks.

To do that, you need to insert the picture into a Bound OLE field. In a
form, click on the control to select it, then go to:

Insert >>> Object

and choose what you want to enter.

Thanks, but still I can't see the picture (I used different picture file
types). The Object Packager doesn’t let me choose View Picture (only
Description), doesn’t matter if I choose Display Type in properties: Icon or
Content.

It is possible that you don't have a registered OLE server. That can happen
if you have a different graphics view than the standard ones that come with
Windows.

This may offer some help:

I just did a new installation (xp pro 64, Office pro 2007). No error
messages. (The only problem I could not solve, was the ODBC driver, even
after reinstall, I can’t configure the user DSN.)

I opened an old 2000 DB, this still shows the pictures. This DB works with
Bitmap Image Objects, instead of Package Objects. When I create a 2007 DB and
save it as an 2000 DB, it does not turn back to Bitmap image Objects. Could
the Object Packager be the problem?

The is a converter pack for Office that adds more image filters.

See if that helps.

The converter pack is not supported by Office 2007 and XP Pro x64 (?).
