network image print report problem

[Davros]

I'll try to be to the concise and to the point because this problem is doing my head in.

I'm using - access 2003, network printer, screen resolution of 1280 x 1024

secratery is using - access 2000, different network printer, screen resolution of 1024 x 768

I have created a database on my C: drive to do with burials, memorials etc and it contains lots of images which are hyperlinked to the database. the images folder was also on the C: drive. No problem using or printing out reports even though images were incorporated into the reports.

I have now transfered the datbase to the network because our secratary now needs to use it. Everything is working on her computer except when I try to print out a report based on a query which includes images. The text prints all right but the images are blank. I can print the reports with no problem from my computer using the database i have transfered to the network. I have changed all the VB, macro etc references from the C: drive to the network drive letter.
one other strange thing is that I have changed the page setup on the network printer that the secratary uses - from portrait to landscape, yet when i print from her computer it changes it back to portrait. whether the problem is related i do not know.
has anyone heard of this problem? or know of a fix

Is the images file still on your C:\ drive? That is what it looks like.

 

[Davros]

no
everything has been transfered from the C drive to the network. The secratary can do a search on the database which is on the network and it shows her the results, images as well. the problem occurs when she tries to print the results out - reports with no images yet they appear on the screen?

i am now geting an error message 3001 - invalid argument. this error message does not appear on my computer but on other computers trying to print out the report. the network database works on my computer but when used on anybody elses computer will not print a report based on a query with an image. i have compiled the code in VB and it runs fine.
i have also repaired my database. i am also trying other fixes to do with error 3001 but i will wellcome other suggestions

thanks guys

further update
i have successfully just printed off my report from another computer on the network on a machine running Access 2003. it would therefor appear to be a problem between different versions of Access - even though i have saved the database in Access 2000 format.

I seem to be answering my own question.
further investigation has takem me to the reference library in VB. my Access 2003 is running Microsoft Access 11.0 object library while those using Access 2000 are running Microsoft Access 9.0 object library. this is the only difference i can see and perhaps the reason why Access 2000 does not print out images in a report generated by a QBF and Access 2003 does.
can i download (where from?) and install Microsoft Access 11.0 object library on a Access 2000 version??

 

[GolferGuy]

Sorry, but I don't know of any way to do what you are asking about the Access 11.0 object library. I would assume you would have to buy Access 2003 and install it on the computers that need to print this new report.

 

[Davros]

yes - thats what i'm thinking
thanks anyway
