In Level 6, Lesson 4, for inserting picture into the form. I followed your steps as given but the best that will come out after I changed a jpg to a bmp to a small picture (kind of like an Icon) with the file name listed under it. Tried other ways but keep getting the same results. The form will print but the picture remains small showing the picture file name. Can you help as I know that I will have the same problem in Lesson 5 for ID's. Thanks

Ron, make sure that you have Microsoft Paint set up as the DEFAULT HANDLER for BMP images. This is a Windows setting. You want to make Paint the application that opens BMP images by default. You can do this by right-clicking on any BMP file, selecting OPEN WITH, and then selecting Paint. Make sure to set this as the DEFAULT app (open with this app every time). The steps are roughly the same, but slightly different with each version of Windows. You may have some other application install that's trying to "handle" BMP files which is causing problems in Access. You can also TRY to do the same thing with GIF and JPG images.
