images missing on printed report but visible on preview?

N

NJS

If anyone knows the solution I would be most grateful.
If I use the print icon on the toolbar, the images appear on the printout,
If I go File/Print they usually do not, although sometimes, if I play with
the quality (std/draft etc) they appear.
I'm, using Access 2000, but have same problems with 97..2003?

NJS,

I use an image control in my reports (pointed at any old
image to start with) and have a field in my report's
record source with the full path and image name for the
record. Put this field in your report's section that will
host the image and set visibility to "no". In the
section's "on format" event set your image's picture
property to the field containing the path and name.

This works ok for me. If you are printing thousands of
images I would strongly reccommend using bitmap images as
these cause a lot less weird problems when printing lots
of records with images.

HTH,

Terry

Thanks Terry, I'll try this. (I was setting the property in the
report_activate event).
Have you any idea why the images are printed using the toolbar icon but not
the file/print option? (different library?)
