I'm having a little problem with some gifs and jpegs in containers...on screen they look fine and dandy but the little buggers wont print

I've tried printing from Browse mode, Preview Mode, made sure they are set to print from the Sliding/Printing menu, tried printing to different lasers and creating a postscript file....in short I am out of ideas.

(The container field uses a calculation to determine its contents ie if x=1 then green square, x=2 then red triangle.)

Any suggestions?

Must not be problem. Can you attach your file? I often have print container field with images.

May be your pictures are not RGB. I advise you to try reexport images as RGB by any picture editor.

Thanks so far...

I cant upload a sample database because my Boss wont allow it...and its about 3MB without records.

And yes my pics are RGB as saved from ImageReady.

To test if related to your calculation you could copy and then paste onto the layout and try to print.

Well here is the calucation....

If (record_lock = 0; admin::symbols[9] ; admin::symbols[10] )

(admin::symbols is a repeating container field that holds the graphics)

All other container fields that rely on lookups or user input print fine.

I wonder if changing the storage options would help at all?

Tried changing the storage options and it didn't help.

One curious feature of my problem....if i make the size of the containers BIG and ask FM to stretch the graphics they print ok...
