Microsoft Access 2003 / Windows 8 / JPG files

We have an Access 2003 database that works fine on Windows XP, Vista and 7.  However on Windows 8 PCs, when running a report that pulls in a JPG logo, we get the following error:

Error number: 2114

Database name...doesn't support the file format of the file 'G:\Logo.jpg' of file is too large.  Try converting the file to a BMP or GIF format.


I know that converting the file does work (and I'm sure when I opened the original JPG in Photoshop it seemed bigger (but I may be wrong).

Any ideas?

Thanks MX, I'll take a proper look at it over the coming days.
Sorry about this MX, I'll take a look today.
Hi MX - converting the images to BMP files did the trick (although I'm sure it has something to do with Win8).  I'll retry when SP1 comes out.

All the best.
Yeah, I'm not sure what the issue is here.

Oh Win8 ... ha ha ... hummmmmmmm!
