Re: MS Access 2003 does not work properly with JPGs, Office XP did

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks - this is a good write up of the flaw in 2003 that still hasn't bee
addressed. My concern is that MS has removed functionality that was
previously in Access to handle pictures. A database that doesn't support
pictures is about as useful as a non-relational database. Might as well use
Excel. Relying on a third party tool or other "workarounds" seems
rediculous. Why doesn't MS just fix the issue? OH yeah, now I remember -
they have 99% of their engineers working on prettier mac- like interfaces
instead of fixing bugs/flaws/weaknesses of their programs. I'm sure if MAC
released a database that natively supported pictures in reports, MS would
wake the engineers and have them resolve it ASAP.
