Having trouble printing an image in access report

[a24t42]

I am trying to print membership cards from an Access report. This card
includes a club logo. When I print the cards, everything but the inage
prints.

The picture has the following settings:

Visible: yes
Size Mode: Clip
Picture type: embedded


It is almost like a switch is turned to the off position. I can't
figure out why it won't print.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks is advance.

Try using Zoom for the SizeMode (Zoom fills the Image or Bound OLE Frame
Control while preserving the proportions of the image). You might be
showing only the background color of a large picture in a small Image
Control (or other) when you use Clip.

The sample imaging databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com illustrate three
approaches to handling images in Access, and the download includes an
article discussing considerations in choosing an approach. Two of the
approaches do not use OLE Objects and, thus, avoid the database bloat, and
some other problems, associated with images in OLE Objects.

If you are printing the images in reports, to avoid memory leakage, you
should also see MVP Stephen Lebans' http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm.
PrintFailure.zip is an Access97 MDB containing a report that fails during
the Access formatting process prior to being spooled to the Printer Driver.
This MDB also contains code showing how to convert the contents of the Image
control to a Bitmap file prior to printing. This helps alleviate the "Out of
Memory" error that can popup when printing image intensive reports.

Larry,

Thanks for the reply. I will read through your suggestions.

But just so you know, I fixed the problem. I had my printer set to
draft. All it took was to change to normal. Once I did that, it
printed fine. It doesn't make any sense to me why it will print in
normal and not draft. Oh, well - another unsolved mystery of life I
guess.

Thanks for your help.
