Scale image size (Image control on an Access form)

I've done this before, but I'm working in 2010 now and it doesn't seem to be working.

I'm trying to make a thumbnail view of an image control. The pictures I store (text field, just linking to a directory) are large and have their own form to open and view them at resolution, but I want to display a small thumbnail of the picture.

I have an image control with the control source set to the image field of my record source. It changes fine with I navigate records, but it shows a zoomed "window" of the image instead of scaling the image down to a thumbnail like it worked in the past.

I've tried the "size to fit" option, thinking that would do the trick but it doesn't.

Is there a different property that I could use? I don't mind writing a little VBA for this either, but I figured it would have worked by just using the form controls.

I just tried this using a regular old Image control in Access 2010 and it worked fine for me when I changed its dimensions to something "thumbnail sized" (0.5" x 0.5") and set the Size Mode property to Zoom.
