MS Picture Manager with MS Access 2007
Hello Experts - I hope you can help me out again.
I am using MS Access 2007.
The database is going to store photos of posters for a poster contest.
Users will vote on the poster.
On the MS site, it says to use OLE to link to either jpg or gif. It does this using MS Photo Editor.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/store-images-in-a-database-HP005280225.aspx
Of course, Photo Editor is no longer available. I have MS Picture Manager, but using it gives me the error "Package" instead of the bitmap image I should be seeing.
My OS is XP and it is a work laptop so I have to do it on this laptop.
How can I make the OLE work? I want to store the pictures in the database because I'll be moving this to our NAS and it is easier to move this way.
Thank you,
Steph M

Don't download this as it only downloads MS Office 2003 Service Pack
I did find a source of picture manager http://microsoft-office-picture-manager.apponic.com/download/
BE VERY CAREFUL on installation so you don't get the included garbage.
1st screen go to advanced and unselect from the bottom up, remaining screens select decline.
then you will get the download to start. It only downloads Office 2003 Service Pack.
