Error when displaying bound ole object (picture) in report.

[brianscacr]

I am using the DisplayImage subroutine that is posted in the Microsoft KB Article 285820. It works fine to bring in a jpg image on the report.

The issue occurs when viewing the report. If you try to scroll through the pages on the report to quickly, you get an error : -2147417848 Method 'Picture' of object '_Image' failed.

It is like the report is not creating the actual control before assigning the path of the picture to it.

Any ideas on how to work around this?

Briansacr,
I had the same thing, I just put a simple delay in the Format event of the group where the Image existed (Detail, in my case).

You can have a datetime variable and have a doevents loop until, say 2 seconds passed. I prefer to use the GetTickCount api, it gives more granularity--I can pare down the delay to a more precise amount, but either way, the delay loop worked for me. Of course it slows down the report, but at least it prints without crashing.

I tried this, but it still did not work. Even with a 2 second delay. The images are in a group header. I don't know if that would make it act any differently.
