MS Access won't show tif files

[jason246day]

I am creating reports using tif files, but they won't show up in access. I get an error saying that they aren't supported, or the file is too large. I know that it will work, because it works on other computers. Is there a setting that I don't know of that will allow tif files to show up? Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

MS Access uses parts of the ms photo editor to display tifs, and in office 2k3, they replaced photo editor with picture editor. So I had to use an old version of office, mine was 2k, to install photo editor. Its a stand alone app, so you can install it without installing anything else from the package. Once that was installed, everything worked perfect.
