    Bitmap table entry - not working on new PC

    This is quite difficult to explain. I support a long standing application. One screen is a holiday planner and if the user clicks on a "box" representing a date then a bitmap image (coloured line) appears in the box. The bitmap image is stored in a table in an OLE Object field.
    All works well on the existing PCs, but I have recently build a new Windows 10 system. The code is copied each morning from a server and it interacts with a backend mdb on the same server. So the set up is the same on all PCs

    But on the new PC when you click on the "box" the image (coloured line) does not appear (the other actions of the mouse click happen and the holiday value is recorded).



    The only clue is that if you open the table containing the bitmap and right click the field then on a working system at the bottom of the context menu it says "Bitmap image Object", but on the new PC it says "PBrush Object".

    So a couple of questions:
    Where is the actual Bitmap image stored?? (I presume it is in the accdb somewhere??)
    Do I need an installed program which I have missed in the PC build?

    Is the new computer 32 bit Office?
    You are using mdb, so what Access version are you using, as that bitness might not be an issue.
    You might need to associate the bitmap with the correct object to open?

    there was same discussion about ole field in MS forum, but unfortunately
    when they re-design the website the thread is no longer available.

    the thing is it is a bug, on the OS part, and part of the solution is
    updating the registry.

    lucky i have saved those registry hacks.

    you may try to run it on your pc.
