HELP please!!!

Very simply, I have an application with reporting components.
On one of the reports is a picture/activeX bound control which feeds from a field name.

The field is created when the report sequel creates the data for the report as follows (modified from actual code):


SELECT name,address,etc_1,etc_2,photograph FROM datasource ;
INTO CURSOR report_extract WHERE name = 'Andrew Chklar'

CREATE CUSROR tmpPhoto (photo G) && store for the picture
APPEND BLAN

IF NOT EMPT(report_extract.photograph) && field with address of .JPG
z = report_extract.photograph && eg C:\photos\andyC.jpg
APPEND GENERAL photo FROM (z) && initialise the field
ENDIF

REPORT FORM rep_with_foto PREVIEW


This used to work fine, but recently, I loaded a new image viewing program on my pc, which must have made changes to the NT registry settings.

Now (and it may be related), I get the following error message when the APPEND GENERAL statement is executed.

OLE error code 0x800401f5 : Application not found.

Has anyone experienced something like this and better still, has anyone got a solution for me?

Many thanks in advance
