Greetings, all--
I have what I thought should be a simple situation that has me stumped.
My users are using an Access 2003 database used through Access 2007 (to maintain user-level security). The OS is Windows 2007.
I have an OLE Object field in a table that I want to contain a .bmp image of a scanned signature. For some reason, my offsite users' system isn't supporting the image. I get a dark square and the file name. This is a bitmap image which I thought was supported by default.
In the table, it's indicated as "Package" with no capacity to convert to anything else. I made sure the image files were set to open with MS Paint (which my system uses and which works) thinking that might be the problem (it wasn't originally configured that way) but it didn't solve the problem.
This has me stumped. Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Paul
