Exporting to Word - Images

Post by spectrum »

Dont think it can be done, just asking. If I export an Access report to Word, is there a way to include an image in the export? Thanks

Unfortunately, exporting reports is a weak feature of Access. The only formats that preserve images in reports are PDF, XPS and the now deprecated "snapshot" format SNP.
None of these formats is editable by default (although there are PDF editors). Exporting to TXT, RTF, XLS or HTM only preserves the text of the report and loses all graphics.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thankyou Hans, that was a quick reply!! Have you got a device connected to the end of a fishing rod?
