[AccessD] trying to import an image is failing

Access is refusing to import a small icon (or bmp) file that I have already
stored as an attachment in a table. My procedure - probably unnecessarily -
saves this small file out to a temp folder and then tries to import it back
into the database as the source for an image control. Upon the step that
says

             imgApplicationIcon.Picture = strPath

I get a message that the file is too big, try importing a bmp instead.  That
was when this tiny image was a .ico file

So I used paint and changed the .ico to a .bmp, and changed the SaveAs path
to use .bmp instead, and retried the assignment step - still getting that
message:

[Applicationname] doesn't support the format of the file [blah].bmp or the
file is too large. Try converting the file to a BMP format.

This is very strange, the file is tiny. The db that I copied this form and
its code from has no problems with the file, nor should it - as it is only
644k. Either as a ICO or a BMP. 

Has someone run into this type of error before and can explain what Access
may be thinking is really wrong?

The value of strpath is C:\Users\Bill
SSD\AppData\Local\Temp\2015_01_07_13_11_55___Temp.bmp

TIA!
