    Can anyone help? When I try to insert an OLE object from file into my
    drawing, I only get the icon with title, regardless of whether I tick
    the box or not.
    However I can make a neww object & it inserts fine.

    The particular file type that I am having trouble with is .jpg,
    however I am not having any joy with bitmaps either.

    Further to my problem -
    Insert OLE will not work for me with pictures from file. I can make
    from new but that isn't a great help if I want to use an existing
    picture/graphic.I can cut & paste word & excel no problems, but if I
    try to cut & paste from paint or similar I either get the message that
    the clipboard item cannot be pasted here or it will insert momentarily
    & then go blank just leaving a border.
    I am running 2003 SP3.1 on Windows XP pro

    Do you HAVE to use OLE?
    You could use Acad's Inset\Image command.
    BTW, what is 2003 SP3.1?

    Put the "at" in the gap.
