jpgs not showing on forms

[phil]

ok i created a simple brdwatching database
only 1 table containing 5 records...
birdid(autoincrease num)
species.(text)
location.(text)
weather.(text)
pictures(oleobject).

on the form i created a bound frame and put the control to pictures ..when i
insert an image if i choose from the choices in the dialog box ie adobe
photoshop the pics show on the form ok ,however if i use the select from
computer?? button and browse to a jpeg all i get is the icon and title of
thye jpeg not the picture itself....(altough when i double click photoshop
starts and displays the pic)
How do i get to show the jpg on the form.
also how do i get to input a jpeg directly into a form when i have a new
record? ie drag n drop from screen into the form hope this makes sense .. as
you can see im very new to this and could do with some help!

I think Access accepts onlt bitmap to be shown on a bound frame, convert your
JPG to a bitmap and try again.
