Embedded picture disappearing

[Willem!]

Hi,

I have a strange problem. I have some (small) embedded pictures on my form. For some reason after a while (during which I continue to develop my database, swichting to design view and back), suddenly the pictures are gone!

Well, not entirely gone, but instead of a picture they are totally white, like if they couldn't load properly.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Or what I should do about this?

Try deleing and recreating the controls again. If the images are only asthetic then this sould be fine. It could also be the actual size of the images, try saving them in a different format to reduce their physical size.

Hi!

...what controls do you mean? The picture itself?

BTW(1): does is matter whether I embedded them as 'Image' or 'Unbound Object Frame'? (the latter is currently the situation).

BTW(2): FYI, I use the pictures for customized control buttons, inspirated by this

Incroyable!!

That was it! I've changed the pictures from 'Unbound Object Frame' to 'Image' and that did the trick! Now they don't disappeare anymore.

Thanx David for your reply, you've made me thinking, and I solved it by myself. THANX

O I see you are using, or trying to use fancifull button images, me myself do not bother with the likes, but agaiin this may be down to image byte sizes and refresh rates.

...well, they're really nice ;-)

...but I'll change the format of the pictures anyway, the smaller the better. They're now bmp's, png's are much smaller, and have the same quality (wel, at least with the pictures I use).
