Once upon a time, there was a picture - now she gone

This is a weird one.

I have a report that prints embedded Access graphics - from a table. When I originally designed it, each time I went to print - no graphics appeared - then almost overnight - they started to print and I've had no trouble since - until today... when I started adding more images to the tables - and now no graphics.

I had one error message - You can't set the Event Proc Prefix property in print preview or after printing has started. Try setting this property in the On Open Event.

Now, i haven't touched this report - and I cannot even print graphics from the backup versions that used to print ok.

Any light shining would be most appreciated.

Cheers
Paul

Sorry - cant help specifically with this - but on another point - I would not recommend embedding graphics in tables - there are a number of posts advising against this as this can cause significant 'database bloat'.

Try linking the graphics (save images in a folder in Windows Explorer, use the table to map a textual reference to the actual image).

I use this method on my DB and have never had a problem.

Good luck!

Duly noted- only reason I've included in table - is that the db will distributed across 100 countries + i really didn't fancy doing image files for each machine.

Interestingly - if you export to snapshot format it works like a dream -
