Re: display image problem

[Stephen Lebans]

The Access Runtime does not contain the Graphics filters that are part
of the normal Full Access or Office installation.
For a workaround see:

Stephen,

I've had a chance to look at your sample and I'm a bit confused. As far as
I can tell, the code is only calling the GDI+ when trying to display TIF or
PNG files. The code to display JPG or GIF is just using the LoadPicture
function. The files we were having trouble with were all JPG files. Am I
missing something? I apologize for being dense here.

Thanks again in advance!
Diana

As it states on the Web page, you only need to use the GDI+ version if
you are loading TIF files. It also mentions that the GDI DLL is an
integral part of WIndows XP.

What exactly is your issue with my code?
