We have a Microsoft Access database. On the reports, there is supposed to be an image. The image file is external to the database and it used to display fine. Now for some reason, the image will not display, print, anything. We have not made any changes to the database schema.

The only workaround I have is to create a new attachment field and store the image in the database. Then reference that field in the report at which point the image will display/print/etc. The downside is the database size will grow rather large.

Some of my research point to an update that broke being able to use external image files. However I have not found anything to point me to what update. Does anyone know of a fix so that I can keep the image file external?

Thank you.

Just wondering if you have confirmed that the image is in the correct path and that permissions to access that image have not changed?

Building off what Paul said, maybe try using an image file on a local machine and see if that works as opposed to an image on a network location.

I tried it with all files on the local hard drive. Still reports are not displaying external images.
