About the Problem:
When I am trying to open or double clicking on the image/object (scanned material, may be in jpeg or bmp format) which is embedded in MS Access file, an error messege is displaying.
ERROR:
"A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.

I had this same problem, only I am using Access 2000. The problem
disappeared when I installed the updates from Microsofts website. This
solved a lot of othe quirky problems too. Hope this helps.
