Well that is probably the problem as I believe I was not using a bitmap.  I thought the lesson video indicated I could use a JPG, my mistake.  Thanks for the help. More questions will, with out doubt, follow.

You CAN use a JPG or GIF, but that depends on the image software you have on your PC. By default, Access can only display BMP images. It passes off everything else to whatever imaging software you have. Microsoft Photo Editor tends to work, but the support is iffy. That's why I say if you NEED to display images in your database forms and reports, stick to BMP.
