BMP ONLY PLEASE... How to solve for ANY Windows OS: * Right click the file and choose properties * On General click change * Choose "PAINT" * Close or click OK This will change whatever default Windows have for BMP, in Windows 10 the default it is usually PHOTOS, hence the reason why Access does not display the picture, it relies on PAINT engine.

Yep. Thanks for sharing. This is why I no longer recommend using BMP files. I prefer to use JPG, GIF, or PNG images and store the path/filename of the image. See my Images video for details.

I agree with Richard. Where I can I usually save images as JPG files. My personal preference.
