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.

    Problem is only with linked images.  Simple for MS to fix.  Sorry if I misunderstood who MVP are - but is still an easy fix for MS if they want to fix it.  I redid all images in my Access to EMBEDDED and now works perfect with no changes in image type.

    ONLY EMBEDDED IMAGES WORK.  Linked images function is damaged until MS gets around to fixing it.  I got my ACCESS working by going back and embedding every image into my data file.

    Good luck - I know who can help you since MS does not seem to be eager to. (800) 795-7696 extension 1251 if you want to discuss with me.

    I'm not sure why you aren't seeing the image size property (it should be the fourth option down), but you can set it manually using VBA.

    Under the report "On Load" event procedure use the following code:

    Me.WhateverYourImageNameIs.SizeMode = acOLESizeStretch

    Note that the image name is not the name of the file, but rather the name that Access (or you) assigns to it. The default will be "image26" or something to that effect.

    Dear Scott and Tom - 

    Thank you for the Link to the fix: 

    http://blog.fmsinc.com/microsoft-access-2016-and-invisible-picture-images/

    I tried to follow the directions but my image is still invisible and on the property sheet for my image I no longer see the option to change the image from zoom to stretch or clip.  The property sheet seems to have only truncated options.  Is there another setting I am missing?

    Thanks!
