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.

    Hi,

    Its 2017 and I am still having this issue!:(

    Is there a solution on the horizon? I have to have my pictures Zoomed and not Clipped or Stretched. It is a scale and ratio issue. I have to be true to the original dimensions of the picture. And changing my photos to Clipped or Stretched seems to be the only thing to help. But does not give me the functionality I need.

    Anyone? :(

    I just tried a fix with this issue and solved it.

    No matter what you use for settings, linked, embedded, zoomed, stretched etc. Everything works if you do the following:

    1. Insert your picture any way you want as stated above
    2. Print report to a pdf
    3. all works fine the picture is there no matter how you set it up and set your settings
    4. It prints from the pdf fine

    I have an HP Learjet 2300D

    So, it is a driver issue that HP needs to fix - sorry to say, it took me 20 minutes to get tired of the possible fixes and decided to try a work around and have not tried to update the driver yet, not time for now. 

    I even tried an option to capture the image the right size and paste it on the form and no good!

    Hope this helps others.

    Others have noted this too. We are working back channels to see if it can be resolved.

    At this time it's not even quite clear under exactly which conditions this problem shows or does not show. It may have something to do with the history of the file.

    Please continue to gather more information on your end, including any workarounds, and post it here, so we can add it to the overall information about this problem.

    Maybe re-embedding the images will work. Try both BMP and modern image formats. Also take note of Options > Current Database > Picture Property Storage Format.

    Here we are on 1/22/2017 and have a subscrition to 365 office pro and still still is an issue
