Hi all,

I have an access acce that i run on two different machines, one of which is in windows 10 /Office 2016, the other one is in Windows 10 / Office 2010. My Acces prints out perfectly on the 2010 version of Access and no image is coming our on the 2016 version on Office (the same Accde was printing perfectly as i had Access 2013 before the weekend) now no image is coming out on the print.

If I look on screen at the report, pictures are there, as soon as I get onto the print preview, images are gone !

This is probably a new feature of access 2016 that I am not aware of !

Can anybody help me ?

Thanks in advance

Marc

Patrick, I fully understand the affect this has had. And I couldn't agree more that a way of going back should have been made available. But it doesn't really matter how specific the issue is, a fix needed to be found, tested and then implemented within the rollout cycle. As I understand it a potential fix was identified late in October. And the testing made it miss the November cycle. Hence the December release.

    MS could fix this fast if they REALLY cared to do so.  Is simply linked imaged issue.  Access works fine with embedded images so this is a source code issue they could have fixed in minutes.  I have an Access guru in TX that can have anyone up and running again in a couple hours is you want immediate help. ******@topgrad.com is my email.

    OK guys - no replies means no one is even reading this.  IF YOU NEED HELP NOW- for very little money my ACCESS guru  can get you up and running FAST.  Email me at ******@topgrad.com and your Access will be working again in a couple of hours - something MS seems unwilling to fix.

    Scott,

    Maybe I can help you isolate this issue. IT IS ONLY LINKED IMAGES.  If I go back and EMBED images they preview and print.  I am not a engineer but a graphics person - couldn't one of your HIGHLY paid ENGINEERS get BUSY AND FIX LINK ISSUE NOW?

    Growls...

    Scott,

    I also have a small company representing dozens of universities and military schools.  We have been using Access to produce all our invoices and welcome letters for almost 20 years.  We recently had our outdated 2003 Access program rewritten (at considerable expense) to the new Access program, and subsequently updated from Office 13 to Office 15.

    Fortunately we kept one or two older machines in the older office version - where our new Access program works perfectly.  However all our other back up systems use Office 2015 and no longer will produce our invoices and welcome letters do to this image problem.  I spent the last few hours and tried 16 different image formats and resized the as well- nothing works. Access seems to no longer have the ability to use images.

    Should our older systems fail we are faced with potential losses of 10's of thousands of dollars due to MS failing to make this repair in a timely fashion.  I cannot help but think this should be bale to be resolved quickly if MS throws its formidable engineering abilities into it.  Any update on a patch to fix this glitch?
