Solved Image control for printing photos from an sql table

[Bæla]

Hi, strangely enough there is no control in Access for printing photos stored in an sql table.
I have tried Dbpix and Bukrek's, where Bukreks has worked fine until now.
I suddenly get problems when trying to print more than 5 photos in one report.

What is the solution for this problem?

maybe download a local copy of the image to a folder
and set the picture property of the image control to
the local image file.

Hi. Just curious, what is the data type of your photo stored in SQL Server?

Can't you bind the field to an image control?

I have got the answer. I can not bind the field to an image control. I use the Bukrek control, and it works fine. This problem is a memory problem that Bukrek can not solve. The options are
1. print one photo at the time
2. export the report to pdf.

But it is a shame that no such control exist ifor Access report.

But it is a shame that no such control exist ifor Access report.

I could be wrong, but I think that would depend on what data type the image column is in SQL Server. Can you tell us what that is? (Sorry if you already told us and I missed it.)

Data type is Ole/db

The photos were taken with a Canon SX 740 camera. More resolution than mobil phone cause the problem.

Data type is Ole/db

Hi. I'm sorry, which version of SQL Server are you using? I didn't think there was an OLE/DB data type in SQL Server. I usually use VARBINARY(MAX) for images.

The datatype in SQL Server 2019 is image, displays OLE-object from Access.

Hi. Thanks for the clarification.
