I want to embed about 10 different small images into my table, which will
them be display on a report. I have read through access's help screens, and
I believed followed the steps carefully, but I continue to get the work
PACKAGE in the OLE control instead of the image.

According to the help screens the work PACKAGE appears when you try to embed
a Jpeg or GIF file, however, I am working with a BMP file. It is b/w scanned
image which I cropped in photoshop and then saved as a BMP.

If any one knows whats wrong I would appreciate it. Thanks

Try using the clipboard: copy and then paste from the clipboard. If this
doesn't work, then try to open the image into MSPaint and repeat the
Copy&Paste but now, from the MSPaint program.

Thanks. I used the second suggestion, and brought the BMP image into MS
paint, saved it and found I was then able to paste into the table. Perhaps
part of my problem was, I thought I would see the image in my table. I now
believe I was wrong, the image only appears on reports and forms.
Thanks again.
