TIFF files in Access 2007 - help!

[Adrian]

Hi

I have an application which was written under Access 97, to print
archived documents held in TIFF format. For some reason, the TIFF filter
seems to be missing in the current version of Access (2007). A quick
Google seems to indicate that this is a known problem, but I can't find
a solution. Is there a workaround for this?

Converting 250,000 TIFF files to some other format is not an option I
want to contemplate at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

The Tiff Office Graphics filters(among others) are not installed with
Access 2003. This is a change from all previous versions of Access.
The solution is to get hold of the Office XP Legacy Converter Pack (it
will work for Office 2003 as well). The problem is that you can no
longer download the XP Converter Pack due to security concerns.

Instead you are directed to download the Office 2003 Legacy Converter
Pack but as I said it no longer contains the TIF Filters!!!!aarrgghh
The solution is to contact MS PSS and request the XP Pack.

Alternatively, the LoadJpegGif solution on my site supports Tif as well.

Thanks for the response - I managed to found a download of the Office XP
Converter Pack (not from Microsoft of course), which has done the trick

Thanks.
