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.

    Tom,

    One of the files I used to test pictures is a brand new (no history) file.

    It is quite small and contains 1 hand typed table and a report.

    The results are exactly the same. Again this runs perfectly on 2013 and not on 2016.

    Have we narrowed this down to the OS or just office version?

    You misunderstood me. I wrote "It may have something to do with the history of the file."

    With that I did not mean age, I meant how it started life as an older version and was upgraded from time to time.

    I have tried all combinations of image control also.

    I find that it is all about the Size Mode settings. Clip and Stretch both work but greatly distort the pictures as you might expect.

    In my version the Picture Type makes no difference. Shared, Embedded and Linked all work the same.

    I am running windows 10 with access 2016.

    I have a windows tablet that is running windows 8.1 with access 2013 and it works perfectly. I hope office 365 never forces me to upgrade that to office 2016 or my reports are all lost.
