[AccessD] How To Display an Image from a Pervasive Database table Via Access 2007

[Mark Simms]

Re: " improvement in MS Access tend not to progress too rapidly."
This may be the understatement of the century.
Examples:
1) SQL in queries don't retain their original format.
Any large query quickly becomes a indecipherable string of letters.
2) no comments permitted in the SQL of a query.
Why did I do this GROUP BY again ?

This has to be intentional.
