Images not displaying properly in MS Access

I have created a database in MS Access for my DVD collection. I have been
including images in the database of each DVD (in JPEG format). Suddenly and
for no discrenable reason some of the JPEG images on not displaying. When I
insert a JPEG image it now shows a white box with the file name in a huge
font.

I have tried the suggestions in Help excluding replacing my JPEGS with
Bitmaps because quite frankly I don't want to have to convert 259 files.

You may be hitting up against the maximum size for an Access database which
is 2G. A better approach would be to create a hyperlink field in your table
to save the location of the jpeg files. store them externally, and use the
FollowHyperLink method to retrieve them.
