I am linking bitmap image files in a table which is subsequently used to
drive queries and reports. The technique of inserting/Picture/from file
works on other computers in our office, but not on mine. What is missing? I
checked to make sure that the bmpimp32.flt file is in the GRPJFLT directory.
What else?
Thanks,
Ruth
 
The Graphics filters are used when you load an image into any of the
Access standard controls(Image etc.) that expose a Picture property. In
your situation it sounds like you are using the OLE Frame control.

You need to have the identical Image program to function as the OLE
Server that exists on the other workstations. Further this Image program
must be registered to display Bitmap images.
