I have a an access application that will not let me embed new photos into the
data base with office 2003. I was using office 2000 and all worked ok but the
change in office version cause the break. The pictures that were already done
stayed just adding new pictures is stopped.

I sometimes get that error message. Except for copy and pasting all the
things into a new form which always work, there are two more easier solutions
that sometimes work. 1- in the Control Panel > Regional and language settings
: set all the combo boxes to English and United states. 2- Open your form in
design view and try selecting controls on the form and deleting them, don't
do it one by one select a group of them, then each time go on Form view and
see if you get the error message again (by clicking the button which produces
that). Sometimes you get that message because one of the controls on the form
has problem, so try finding that and deleting it.
Good luck
