Image not printing out on reports sometimes

[aaronyoung914]

The images are linked by their filepaths on my computer.
When I print the reports, the images show up sometimes (maybe less than 50% of the time)
I already tried to create pause in VBA code to allow the picture to load, but still doesn't work reliably.
It's very random.
Sometimes, the picture show on reports 9/10 times.
Sometimes, 1/10 times.

What image type? What size files? How were the images created?

hi aaronyoung914

Perhaps you don't realize that the Image control can now render pictures stored in files on your computer. You used to have to use code to show a picture but not anymore! Set the ControlSource to be the path\file of the picture ~ easy squeezy, with no VBA needed since that can be stored in a table.

ControlSource can also be an expression, so if just the filename is stored, you calculate the path, no problem.

If the image location isn't stored in a table, but is known, you can set ControlSource to a function that gets it.

There is also a bug using Win64 & Access32
on some PC's, SOMETIMES the image will show, others it wont.
Usu re-installing Paint will solve it.

Reinstalling Ms paint? Why would that work? I'll try it and let you know.

Reinstalling paint did not help. Images still blank sometimes on reports.
