Hi,
I have designed a form on Access 2000 with an embedded graphic (a letter
head)
When I come to print the form the text looks OK but the graphic is of very
poor quality - no amount of changing the printer settings (Laser Jet 3)
improves the quality to be anything approaching acceptable.
The graphic was originally imported from a word document (by takng a whole
screen shot of the word doc and then "cutting out" the graphic) - and when
the word doc prints out the quality of the same graphic is fine - the
printer settings are identical in both Office applications.
There is no other obvious parameter in any of the Access 2000 which might
affect (improve) print quality - or is there ?
Any ideas anyone ?!
Thanks in anticipation

Hi Simon,
When you paste from a screenshot the image is at the screen resolution, ie
75 DPI which is why it looks so poor, but Word is printing it at the image
resolution. Your best bet is to get Word to save the image into a separate
file and import that into your program.
