Image Control on report problems

[phillipmai]

Hello,

I have put an image control on my report and linked to the data source, when I view this report in Report View I can see all the images, however when I change this to Print View most of the images disappear.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Regards,
Phil

Most of the images disappear or none of it appear?

 

[phillipmai]

Roughly about 50% don't appear on the Print Preview.

Layout View and Report View you can see all the images.

Are these images stored in your db as OLE objects?

 

[phillipmai]

They are not stored in the db.

I have inserted a Image Control on the report and have set the Control Source of the Image as the Path of where the Image is stored.

This is the what I've done:

Alright, that's a good way of linking your report.

Are there any particular images that don't get displayed? Do you see a pattern?

What is the extension of the images that don't get displayed?

 

[phillipmai]

The file extension .tif are the images not being displayed, but the images that are being displayed are also .tif.

Can't see any pattern at the moment, going to look through them and see if I can spot anything, have looked at about 10 so far and not found anything.

Tiff isn't supported. This link explains why (and a possible workaround):

You may also try the Access Graphic Filters (bottom of page):

Thanks vbaInet,

I have been trying to resolve this for a long time and now it works after reading the section about Enabling Graphic Filters, I downloaded the FileFormatConverters pack and IT WORKS!!

Glad that worked for you.
