I was using Microsoft Office XP Professional
and now have upgraded to Microsoft Office
2003 Professional.

In Microsoft Access I have a Database
that contains pictures (they are JPG files).
When I had Access XP, I could just drag or
copy the picture file into the database
field and it would be displayed
properly in the form.

Now under Access 2003, when I copy a new
picture to the table it shows in the
table field as "Package". Then under
the form the picture is not displayed,
what is displayed in the picture field
in the form is the name of the picture.

Using Picture Manager.
When I click on the picture using Picture
Manager the picture is displayed as it
should be.

HELP ??

Hi Harry,

You need to install Microsoft Photo Editor from your Office XP CDs.
