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.

    Will, This is the first I have heard that it was reported during Beta. Do you have any documentation of that? If this issue was reported during Beta testing and not fixed, that is certainly an issue. 

    And frankly, I resent your reference to "lackeys".  Speaking for myself, I give credit where its due and the same for blame. I call it as I see it. Almost all the MVPs I know, especially the Access ones,  feel similarly.

    This bug was reported several times while 2016 was still in beta and they decided to release it anyway. It is not an obscure circumstance. Having a picture set to Zoom is a standard and widely used feature. 

    Now we have no way of reverting back to 2013 and to apply the work-around for most of us would take days if not weeks.

    And Microsoft has yet to respond directly to anyone in this thread. All we get are obscure updates from their forum lackeys.

    Feel free to disagree. But while there have been no significant changes in desktop Access, Access is still a PART of Office. This issue could have been caused by a change in the Office shell that adversely affected Access.

    I was commenting more on your statement that it isn't the user's job to test. Every major software product goes through user testing. its the only way to catch some bugs.
