Printing Forms with pictures

C

cedadams

I am creating a very simple database for members of my group. I want to
include their pictures in the database. I am using the 'Employees' form from
the sample database included with Access 2003 as a starting point and have
figured out how to make it work by adding the 'Office' globals table and
changed the 'Display When' property to 'Both' instead of 'Sceen Only' but
when I print the forms, each form is printed with the picture from the first
record only. Any suggestions?
I am trying to use the forms to print a series of pages, one page to a
member, which will be used to make a picture member directory.

The sample imaging databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com illustrate three
approaches to handling images in Access, and the download includes an
article discussing considerations in choosing an approach. Two of the
approaches do not use OLE Objects and, thus, avoid the database bloat, and
some other problems, associated with images in OLE Objects. If you follow
the example in the Northwind Traders sample database that is included in the
Access CD, I believe you are, indeed, using OLE Objects.

If you are printing the images in reports, to avoid memory leakage, you
should also see MVP Stephen Lebans' http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm.
PrintFailure.zip is an Access97 MDB containing a report that fails during
the Access formatting process prior to being spooled to the Printer Driver.
This MDB also contains code showing how to convert the contents of the Image
control to a Bitmap file prior to printing. This helps alleviate the "Out of
Memory" error that can popup when printing image intensive reports.
