help with storing image files in access database and displaying imagefiles in reports (access 2000)

P

hello,
I have to link to a large amount of images (jpb, gif and bmp). I
created a table and set the data type of the field with the image file
names as OLE Object. Then, I have to go to each record of the pictures
column and create a link to the image file it corresponds to. (is there
a faster way to do this? I do know all image files aren't in the same
directory).

So, after doing this, jpg and gif files work fine. But now, bmp files
don't display on the reports. I keep getting a 'Package' output on the
record where I linked to the bmp image file. The output on the
'pictures' column from jpg or gif files is 'Editor 3.0 Photo'. Jpg and
gif files work fine, when you run the reports you can see these types of
pictures.

I'm surprised that Access is causing trouble with bmp image files. Then
again, I don't know too much about how to make access play well with
image files.

HELP!



Thanks,

Oskar
