Sorry to repost.
I need an unbound object frame to display varios objects including Word
documents, Excel, PDFs, BMPs JPGs, DIBs, GIFs etc The word documents, Excel,
PDFs, BMPs all seem fine, but I get a blank screen for the JPGs, DIBs, GIFs.
If I double click on the blank screen I get an error message "The operation
on the HTML Document failed" "The OLE Server may not be registered"

Access 2010 Windows 7

Any ideas please

Is it possible to differentiate graphics and other types. Use the
unbound object frame for those that aren't graphic, use an image object
for those that are. Then turn visible on/off for the type of document.
Is there a reason to embed everything in the form. Why not dblclick
and open the pics/docs in their associated app?

Thanks, Salad.

I was comimg to the same conclusion myself about changing the visible
property. Just need to look at the file suffix to determine the file type.

Odd thing is that in AK2 Windows XP environment, the unbound object frame
displayed all the file types.

Still not sure about this OLE server. I know how to register with Regsvr32
but what needs registering?
