I'm having a problem with jpeg & gif files inserted into Access forms. The logos look fine before they are inserted but once they are inserted into an Access form the quality of the logo looks terrible.

Has anyone else experienced this problem & have any suggestions?
 
when you are placing the images in access, you should make sure the image control you are using has the sizemode set to "clip". This will prevent the control from stretching or shrinking the image, distorting the image.
 
My suggestion would be to not put the image files into the database, but rather, put the pathname to the image files in the database.

Although I don't think this is the cause of your quality issue. As jimbOne said, it's most likely a stretching, shrinking, or aspect ratio change that is affecting quality.

Good Luck
