Word XP Graphics filter problem

R

Ron Abbott

This works fine in all versions of Word except Word XP ( now also upgraded
to SP2)
I am using Windows XP Professional

Using DDE from Access V2 (16 bit) to insert a JPG or BMP image into a frame
in a Word document.

Wordbasic command uses INSERTPICTURE command (see below)

Error message : Run-time Error '1286' - the graphics filter was unable to
convert this file

The filename is then displayed.

Debug points to following statement :

WordBasic.InsertPicture Name:="O:\pic\PL1654_1.JPG"


All help would be very gatefully received !


PS, a manual Insert Picture from file works fine (so the graphics filter is
installed OK) - it is only the DDE/Wordbasic environment that produces the
error !

Same problem on Windows 2000 rinning XP Office.

Cannot find any reference to this in Microsoft knowledgebase or Google
groups.
