OLE Objects drag and drop .jpg stopped working Access 2002

In Access 2002. I use to drag .jpg photos from windows explorer and drop them
in a form field and they would display. Now I get a package with the file
name instead of an embedded photo, these do not display in the form or on
reports. It does the same thing on all my databases now which all use to
allow drag and drop. Even when I create new databases, drag and drop won't
work. It was working fine a week ago. I have checked the .jpg file
associations and they are all the same. I have not exceeded the 2 gig limit
on any of the databases. How do I fix this?

How did you check the Jpeg file association because that is the issue?
Open Explorer and double click on any Jpeg file. What application is invoked
to display the Jpeg?

It is the windows viewer, which is the same as it has always been. The only
thing I have done that is different than the other computers on the network
is install the Internet Explorer 7 Beta. Could have that affected drag and
drop? Drag and drop still works on the other computers in our network just
not on mine.

The obvious answer is yes, the Beta IE is the problem. The problem is the
only solution may be to uninstall the Beta but even that may not resolve the
issue.

I un-installed IE7 Beta2 and the Drag and Drop fuction resumed, and now
works. IE7 must mess with file associations and has a bug.
