MS Access Forum / General 2 / February 2007Pictures loading extremely slow
I have pictures in a database report, 4 per page. I have the pathname in the field in the records, and assign the picture to an image control in the On Print event of the Detail section. The pictures are incredibly slow and the report crashes on the third page when my client runs the program on her computer. They are slow on my computer, and the loading gets slower with each page. I had her supress the printing dialog box on the computer she is using. Is there some way to make this work faster, and not crash? -rg Have you checked the size of the pictures? At 4 per page, I doubt you need more than 500KB per image. Also, Access works better with bitmaps. You may simply be asking Access to do too much image processing (compressing, converting, stretching...). >I have pictures in a database report, 4 per page.

Memory leaks and crashes happen when using the OnFormat event to print images.
