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.

    Dear all,

    I am suffering from this also. I have been able to get images to show up correctly on forms, zoom and all. I can get them to show up on reports by setting the frame property in VB with SizeMode. But it still will not resize to the frame. If I get that to work I will repost. While not an appealing concept I could insert a subform in the report to handle the sizing of the image. Might work, but a completely backwards method. Anyone find something that works? Perhaps an updated OLE reference in VB?

    That's your proof? Two months ago one member reported HERE a similar problem. Yes I responded and suggested it be reported through the system for beta testing. That is no proof that it was actually reported. Do you have any idea how many questions I answer on a daily basis? You expect me to remember one post 2 months ago? Yes, I can state that I had not heard it was reported during beta. I still don't know for a fact that it was.

    Two months ago it was in beta.

    As MVPs, we have access to the development team. When several people reported it, we made sure the dev team was aware of it. It was confirmed to us that this was a bug and was being worked on. some of us then decided (on our own) to pass that information to people here.

    As of 10/8 the October cycle had not yet been released, but the odds are that it won't make it. I have no control on what MS wants to make public or not. The information I've received is that it is being taken very seriously and being worked on with a high level of priority. I am not, however privy to how complex the issue is.

    Your comments are your own opinions and you are entitled to them. But it seems all you want to do is badmouth MS and VOLUNTEERS who have been trying to help. MVPs are people outside of Microsoft. who have donated their time and expertise to help people use Microsoft Products. Our contribution has been recognized by Microsoft with an MVP award. This award is not contingent on being a promoter of MS products, but being a supporter of people who use them.

    You say you don't mean any direct offense, but you continue to attempt to put MVPs down. So it appears your agenda is negativity.

    You responded to it! How can you say you hadn't heard of this issue before and still keep a straight face?

    "Oh, uh, it's in beta" is no longer an adequate response.

    I didn't mean any direct offense to you, but I think it's ridiculous that the Microsoft team is supposedly working on this issue, yet the only evidence we have of this is the forum "MVPs" saying "They're working on it, we super swear." The October update has come and gone now and I doubt the November update is going to have a different result.

    Microsoft's lack of an official response to this is just their way of saying they don't see this as an issue worth working on.
