Rick -- I emailed you earlier about a problem I was having in placing images into Access Forms.  By accident, I discovered how to insert an image into my MS Access 2013 forms without having to deal with the warning I received earlier "A problem occurred while Microsoft Office Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX control".  In the deign tab of the 2013 ribbon, there are a number of buttons, one of which is "image".  If one clicks on this button and drags the cursor to the form (in design view), the cursor changes to a little plus sign.  By dragging the cursor, a box is drawn and a window opens for one to select the desired image.  Once selected and an "OK" button is pressed, the image appears in the box.  I still don't understand why the original method doesn't work and what the error message means, but at least I can now place images into the database form.
