Access Web App: How to extract images into the report? RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi,

    I have an access web app which contains a variety of fields including text, dates and images and I wish to generate auto reports within access. I have brought in all of the fields I want displayed in the report but unfortunately, when the report is created, it does not display images. Is there a way to have the images display in reports or is this just not an option in the web app? All of the other fields display their information correctly.

    Cheers,

    Nathan

  • Hi Nathan,

    I made a test with your description, and I could reproduce your issue.

    As my test, I found that the image file are stored as ole Object in Access database. It is a known issue from the link below:

    # Images that are stored in OLE object fields do not appear correctly
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/832508

    For workaround1, I tried to find Microsoft Photo Editor for later system version, but I failed.

    For workaround2, we will need to convert the ole object value to image file in a folder and then display the images from a folder. With Access object model, there is no directly way to achieve this, and for the converting issue, I suggest you go to the forum below for help.

    You could refer the link below for displaying images from a folder.
