I've browsed through the entire 117 titles on the forms
newsgroup and there were half a dozen or so questions
like mine, though the replies were mostly too technical
for me (thanks all the same)

In Access 2000 I could LINK jpeg files to OLE fields and
display a "thumbnail" image on each form. I understand
about linking rather than embedding; the Help files
showed how to do it, and it all worked fine.

I am an end-user trainer and have Access 2003, trying to
help acouple of users with Access XP - and although the
Help files explain how to do it in exacly the same way, I
can only display an icon or the filename.

I can't explain the current Event expressions (it'll take
me hours to grasp it myself) to these two novice Windows
users. Why won't it work any more? I'm depressed to
think that we have to stick with 2000 for this to work.
(The database when is likely to have around 2000 records -
 thats not large is it?)

Can anyone from Microsoft tell me if this was a
deliberate change, or is there something wrong with my
settings somewhere.

I'll book myself on a course for Access Basic, or VBA but
hope I don't have to.....
