When I insert an OLE object into my table and try to view it in a form, I only see the icon, not the image. If I doubled click the OLE box, I am linked to the image.

Any help would be appreciated.

When you insert the object, are you unchecking the box "Display as icon"?

The only thing standing between you and your goal is doubt. Quit doubting yourself and you'll be able to accomplish anything!

I made sure I did not check 'view as icon'. Do you know what property could effect this in field properties and form properties?

I ran into a simular problem earlier and couldn't resolve it. I was using access 2002. In the end I converted the images to bmp's and access liked that. The only problem is that you can't have a transparent bmp so you have to set all the program background colours and hope for the best. :(

Perhaps someone has a better solution

There's a limit to what Access can display as an actual file. These types are listed in the Insert dialog when the "Create New" radio button is selected.

The only way I can think of putting it in another way would be through ActiveX
