Is it possible to embed a jpeg in a report?  Here is what I have tried as 
a test.  I copy part of a jpeg to access and it won't show up in the 
report.  I take the exact same image but as a high qual bitmap and try 
pasting it in and I can see it but the quality is not good.  Any feedback 
is welcome!

Although it's ok to put in jpegs, it's probably better to put in a 
bitmap, as that image format isn't as lossy as jpeg.

Nonetheless, what you would probably want to do is if it's just part of 
the jpeg you want to put in - cut it out and save the part as a whole new 
jpeg file.
Then you can just use "insert object" from file

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use a JPG as a background
in a report.  Correct?

If so that is easy.  Look at the report in design view and under the All tab
of the properties, you will see an area for inserting a picture.  The labels
are Picture: Picture type: Picture Alignment and three others.  That is
where you insert the picture and it becomes the background of your Report

I don't agree with this statement.  With the same picture, the BMP file 
will be approximately ten times larger in file size than the JPG 
counterpart.  Avoid using BMP images whenever and wherever possible.  You 
should be able to get the JPG up to snuff if you scan it correctly or snap 
the photo correctly from the very start.

If you don't believe me, take the same file with embedded BMPs and copy it 
and replace the BMPs with JPGs, then look at your MDB's file size in 
Microsoft Explorer.
