Large amount of pictures crashes report

[chris]

I have a report that prints images coming from external jpg-files,
each about 20K size. I use the OnFormat event of the Details section
to set the .Picture property to the appropriate path/file. However, a
report with a lot of images (say about 600) produces an error
somewhere near image 300. There's nothing wrong with the images
themselves: I can read them without any problem. Besides the error is
not always produced at the same image. My idea is that there is some
kind of memory leak that causes the report to crash.
Has anyone had similar problems and - off course - do you have
suggestions to make my report print?

tia,
Chris

Chris,

You got it in one!

Access prangs with lots of pictures.
You would think MS would have fixed this by now.

Convert images to bmps and you will go a lot further. I
get to about 7500 records with bitmaps before it plays up.

I think Lebans site has some info on converting to bitmaps.

Thanks for replying, Terry. I saw at Lebans site that there is a way
to convert jpgs on the fly. Will surely try to implement that!
