Slow Report

[Guest]

Hope somebody can hel

I have developed a little system that prints raffle tickets. (5 to an A4 page). There is an image with linked logo (jpg file) in the background of each ticket. When I print say 400 pages, the print preview takes about 35-40 seconds to complete which is OK. However when it is sent to printer, it prints a few pages then slows down, until eventually is hangs altogether

Is the size of the file generated to the printer too large, if so how could I get around it ?.

Any other suggestions would be appreciate

The sample imaging databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com illustrate three
approaches to handling images in Access, and the download includes an
article discussing considerations in choosing an approach. Two of the
approaches do not use OLE Objects and, thus, avoid the database bloat, and
some other problems, associated with images in OLE Objects.

If you are printing the images in reports, to avoid memory leakage, you
should also see MVP Stephen Lebans' http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm.
PrintFailure.zip is an Access97 MDB containing a report that fails during
the Access formatting process prior to being spooled to the Printer Driver.
This MDB also contains code showing how to convert the contents of the Image
control to a Bitmap file prior to printing. This helps alleviate the "Out of
Memory" error that can popup when printing image intensive reports.
