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.

    They won't - you cannot link images in the new Access - you must embed them for them to work properly.  Once embedded in your data file they work as expected.

    "MS should be criticized is on forcing the upgrade ... no avenue to rollback the upgrade"

    That is one Major error on their behalf, and with the years of experience an inexcusable one!

    The other issue is their lack of communication (one that has plagued them for years).  Not having any form of acknowledgement about the problem, status of a fix, ETA to release of said update, and more importantly some temporary workaround compounded the entire issue.  Because of the fact they forced the upgrade (with no rollback) made this point critical and thus their entire way of handling the situation that much more unacceptable.

    MS has a serious issue with transparency, communication and marketing.  Although I think they are or have addressed later, the first two remain.
