Hi,
I am using two computers with two different versions of access. One is 2013 the other one 2016. I use reports with embedded pictures sent to background. The report that displays correctly in 2013, has a shrinked embedded image in 2016. The report that displays correctly in 2016, has an oversized embedded image in 2013.
Any idea?
thanks
Andrew

have you played with the Image's Size Mode (Form Design->Property->Format).
if it still behave as before, you can manually set the picture size through
Form's Load Event:

Code:Copy to clipboard

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Image0.Height = 1440 * 1 '1"x1" size
Me.Image0.Width = 1440 * 1  '1440 twips per inch = 1 inch
End Sub

thanks for the quick reply. Its a report, not a form. However i need to share this.
I have made a new access database in which i have designed the report from scretch using ms access 2016. Then i took this report and imported into my original database file. And it works now in both version correctly....

There was a major issue with embedded images in Access 2016.
This was mainly with some images not appearing at all if jpg or ping type.

Although its supposedly been fixed, it may be worth trying some of the workarounds in this link https://www.devhut.net/2015/11/16/ms-access-missing-images-images-not-showing/
