Can't update letterhead in the report using OLE link

[retz121]

Hi There,

I have a problem changing our letterhead in our reports using Access 2007.
Even after "Changing the source" using the OLE link and doing "Update Now", still it didn't changed.
When opening the source it's pointing to the correct network location.
Can you please help how I can change it?

Thanks,

This is a permanent edit of static image, not a dynamic display of images with records?

Might be easiest to delete the control and create new one in its place.

Not sure how I can proceed with that. I'm just changing the image on the page header of one of our Reports from the Report Design Tools after clicking the "Design View. " This image is the one I'm getting from the link (using OLE Link), where it points to the network location where the template is stored. Can you please guide me along which control you are referring to that I need to delete and create? Thanks.

I don't use a lot of images in my db but they are all static.

There are 3 types of controls possible for this.
Unbound Object Frame
Bound Object Frame
Image

The first two I have not used.

I use Image control to display static and dynamic images.

For static image display I set PictureType property to Embedded. The images are small and few so not causing file size issue. I suppose setting to Linked is advisable if you have opposite situation.

For dynamic image use the ControlSource property which was introduced to this control with Access 2007. This property can reference an image in an attachment field or external file path string in a text field or can be a path string right in the property.
