What method are you using to hyperlink to pictures?

The first thought that comes to my mind is to check on the properties under
"picture type". There are two options - linked or embedded. If it is
linked, then Access looks for the file in the specified directory. If you do
not have that same directory on your laptop, Access cannot find the file. If
it is embedded, then the pictures are actually imported into your database
but that can dramatically increase the size of your database which may cause
errors if the pictures are large.
