I want to embed about 10 different small images into my table, which will 
them be display on a report.  I have read through access's help screens, and 
I believed followed the steps carefully, but I continue to get the work 
PACKAGE in the OLE control instead of the image. 

According to the help screens the work PACKAGE appears when you try to embed 
a Jpeg or GIF file, however, I am working with a BMP file.  It is b/w scanned 
image which I cropped in photoshop and then saved as a BMP.  

If any one knows whats wrong I would appreciate it.  Thanks

Try using the clipboard: copy and then paste from the clipboard.  If this 
doesn't work, then try to open the image into MSPaint and repeat the 
Copy&Paste but now, from the MSPaint program.

Thanks.  I used the second suggestion, and brought the BMP image into MS 
paint, saved it and found I was then able to paste into the table.  Perhaps 
part of my problem was, I thought I would see the image in my table. I now 
believe I was wrong, the image only appears on reports and forms.
Thanks again.
