You can insert many popular graphics file formats into a form, report, or data access page either directly or with the use of separate graphics filters by using the Picture command on the Insert menu. For forms and reports, you don't need a separate graphics filter installed to insert Enhanced Metafile (.emf), Windows bitmap (.bmp, .rle, .dib), Windows Metafile (.wmf), and icon (.ico) graphics. However, you do need a graphics filter installed to insert all other graphics file formats listed below.
| Graphics file formats requiring separate graphics filters | |
|---|---|
| Computer Graphics Metafile (.cgm) | Kodak Photo CD (.pcd) |
| CorelDRAW (.cdr) | Macintosh PICT (.pct) |
| Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) | PC Paintbrush (.pcx) |
| FlashPix (.fpx) | Portable Network Graphics (.png) |
| Graphic Interchange Format (.gif) | Tagged Image File Format (.tif) |
| Hanako (.jsh, .jah, .jbh) | WordPerfect Graphics (.wpg) |
| JPEG File Interchange Format (.jpg) | X-Bitmap (.xbm) |
For pages, you don't need a separate graphics filter installed to insert Windows bitmap (.bmp, .rle, .dib) graphics. However, you do need a graphics filter installed to insert Graphic Interchange Format (.gif), JPEG File Interchange Format (.jpg), Portable Network Graphics (.png), and X-Bitmap (.xbm) graphics.
The separate graphics filters are not supplied with the stand-alone version of Microsoft Access 2000. To use the filters, you need to install Microsoft Office 2000 Professional Edition, Microsoft Office 2000 Premier Edition, or a stand-alone version of Microsoft Word 2000 along with your stand-alone version of Access 2000.
Note For more information on each separate graphics filter, see your Word documentation.
