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.

    I have the same problem and support desk have been no help.  They just keep sending me around in loops.

    I have the problem with forms and reports.  I've attempted to delete and reinsert the images but still no luck.

    This is a HUGE problem for me!

    I can't see the images in any view mode....

    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.

    Hi Tom

    Thanks for the answer.

    I've tried re-enbedding the picture in the accdb file but this does not help solving the problem.

    I will try to change the picture format and see if it works, I shall keep you posted with that.

    I Will also investigate the options of the current DB

    It seems the problem is image controls in forms and reports in Access 2016 if Picture is Embedded, or when Linked and Zoom.

    Seems to happen in both mdb and accdb.

    Tried Options > Current Database > Picture Property Storage Format but did not fix it for me.

    My workaround so far is to change the control Size Mode to Stretch (or Clip), and Picture Type to Linked. 

    It's not a great workaround as every image control on any form and report needs to be changed.
