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.

    Just checking: were you part of the Office 2016 beta program?

    Frankly, that timeframe is not acceptable.

    This issue should not have occurred if proper testing of the software had been carried out.

    The use of images in the Access application is a basic requirement.

    We're working back channels to find out more. MSFT is well aware of this issue and how it negatively affects users.

    One thing we know is that MSFT releases Office updates once a month, and that the window for the October release is rapidly closing. If they don't make it, the November release would be the next opportunity.

    In the meantime it appears using bitmap images or linked rather than embedded images may be a temporary solution, at least in some cases.

    Installing a VM with Office 2013 for sending reports to customers may be another temporary solution.

    Tom,

    No one has found a workaround that actually works.

    Clip and Stretch are not an option for all but a very few pictures.

    Please push someone for a real solution to this zoom problem.

    Many of us are in real trouble because of this.
