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.

What type of file are you trying to insert as an OLE object?

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

If you place the image in a Word document and use Insert Object to place
that in your drawing, it will show up.

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?
