Illustrator to Photoshop to Access

[doyle60]

I'm having problems getting a logo to appear in an image box on a
report. The logo is a jpg.

I get the message: "Microsoft Access can't open the file.'[Path to
photograph]' The part in brackets is the path to my photograph. It is
linked.

When I use a jpg file that was a photograph, there is no problem. It
works.

But when I create a logo with Illustrator, bring it into Photoshop,
save it as a jpg, it doesn't work.

I don't get why. The file is completely a jpg without any graphics
other than the fact it was *once* graphics, vectors.

I have tricked it, however, and copied the logo onto an original
photograph, made a few changes, and lo and behold, it works.

The only problem with this is that the jpg is a little bit too
pixilated.

I tried everything. Even if I save it as a rather small jpg, Access
will not accept it. I don't get how Access knows the difference
between one jpg and another.

I have Access 1997.

Thanks,

Matt

One possible cause is that the Illustrator image uses an unsupported colorspace – most likely CMYK. I
just tested a CMYK jpeg in Access 2000 and it did work, but perhaps the graphics filters in Office 97 do
not support it. Check the colorspace in Photoshop, and if it is not RGB change it to RGB (Image -> Mode
-> RGB Color) then save the image and try it.

You are indeed correct. It worked with the RGB change. Thanks,
