Pictures loading extremely slow

[rg]

I have pictures in a database report, 4 per page. I have the pathname in the
field in the records, and assign the picture to an image control in the On
Print event of the Detail section. The pictures are incredibly slow and the
report crashes on the third page when my client runs the program on her
computer. They are slow on my computer, and the loading gets slower with each
page. I had her supress the printing dialog box on the computer she is using.
Is there some way to make this work faster, and not crash?

Would it help is the image size is the same on the report and the saved file?

Try using the OnPrint event instead of the OnFormat event. Apparently
the OnFormat event has "issues"

Memory leaks and crashes happen when using the OnFormat event to print
images.
