Runtime - Image object not displaying

[Don]

Hello, I'm deploying an Access 2003 application using the access runtime.
On my test box (with only the runtime), reports with an Image object don't
display the image on the file server. These reports work fine on my
development
box fine which has the full office installed.

How do I figure out what else to install or fix the report to work correctly
on a machine that doesn't have the full version installed.

Thanks

Don

Hi Don,

On your development PC with full Office installed, try starting Access with
the /runtime switch. Do your images display correctly now? To do this,
create a shortcut that includes the full path to msaccess.exe, the full path
to your database file, and the /runtime switch. Each path must be enclosed in
doublequotes if there are any spaces in the folder names. Each parameter is
separated with a single space. For example:

Target:
"Full Path to msaccess.exe" "Full path to DB file" /runtime

If it works there, then I suspect that you can find the answer to this issue
by reading a previous post that I made here:

Good Luck,
Tom

Are you using the standard Image control or a bound OLE Frame control?

What Image types are not working?

I tried it with the runtime switch and I still have no problems with the
report on my machine with full office installed.

The Jpeg(among others) graphics filter is not installed as part of a runtime
only distribution. If you end users systems had any of the Office apps
installed you would not be in this situation as the graphics filter
libraries(DLL's) are a shared Office resource.
There is no supported/legal solution that would allow you to redistribute
the missing DLL's as part of your distribution. A workaround was pointed out
to you by Tom in his initial response to your inquiry.
