Title and images missing in Buttons
- Thread starter JTrilloJ
- Start date
On this topic:
I happened to see an article by Daniel Pineault today about the disappearance of Form Button labels.
I couldn't tell if he cited the images, but they're included in the disappearances.
I found it strange that it was only happening to me.

Until a few days ago, yours was the only report about this issue. As stated previously, I originally thought the issue wasn't a bug and was just due to you using incorrect settings.
However, in the past 2-3 days there have been multiple reports of this issue and it is clear that the update to Current Channel Preview version 2506 triggered the problem. The Access team are aware of the issue and have confirmed it will be fixed before version 2506 goes to the Current Channel in the next 10 days or so.
In the meantime, it is easy to fix the issue by changing the Picture Caption Arrangement property setting as I described above.
It is worth reiterating that insider channels should never be used for production databases as they will contain bugs.
In theory, these are all identified and fixed before reaching Current Channel but that isn't always the case.
For that reason, many experienced Access developers recommend that all clients are on the Semi-Annual channel

For info, I have now published my own article on this bug including the current status and workarounds until it is fixed:

I hope its OK that I used images from your supplied example database to explain the problem
Thanks for reporting the issue. It was another 10 days before any other reports were uploaded to forums
Disappearing images and captions on buttons
This article outlines a bug which causes many captions and images to no longer be shown on command buttons in Current Channel (Preview) version 2506.

I want to amplify Colin's message.
Organizations and individuals should not run Production database applications on insider channels. Microsoft does not hide the fact that those channels can, and very often will, contain bugs.
As a rule of thumb, all of your production database applications should be on the slowest release channel you feel comfortable with.
Developers, on the other hand, might wish to have available (perhaps on a VM) an installation on an insider channel on which they can continually evaluate their applications on the insider channel to help expose those bugs before they reach their clients.
