Hi there! Using A02 on XP. Have a few pages that need to
print with certain reports. Except for a few fields at
top, bulk of page is exactly the same for all prints. I
scanned the original to a bitmap and copied and pasted the
part I needed onto my report in Access. Makes my file HUGE
though. Is there a better way to show the 'stuff'?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
 
Bonnie,

Use an image control and set the picture property to point
at your bitmap. eg c:\pictures\mybitmap.bmp

This keeps the image out of your database.

If you have a standard letterhead that you are using in
multiple reports create a subreport with all your
letterhead stuff and drop the subreport onto your other
reports (that way when the company address / logo changes
you only have 1 subreport to change).

HTH,

Terry
 
Thanks a bunch for the advice! I'll just have to make sure
nothing happens to the image file.
