ACC2000: Watermarks Appear Once per Page Instead of Once per Label
This article was previously published under Q208473
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).
When you attempt to create a watermark by setting the
Picture property of a mailing label report to a graphic image, the watermark appears only once on each
sheet of labels instead of on each label.
This behavior occurs because the
Picture property is designed to display a graphic image in the background of a form or a report only once per page.
To have a watermark on each mailing label, you need to place an Image control in the Detail section of your report. To do so, follow the steps in the "Steps to Place a Watermark on Each Label" section later in this article.
Steps to Place a Watermark on Each Label
- Start Microsoft Access and open the sample database Northwind.mdb.
- Open the Customer Labels report in Design view.
- On the Edit menu, click Select All, and then on the View menu, click Properties.
- Click the Format tab, and then set the Back Style property to Transparent.
- From the toolbox, select the Image control, and then place a one-inch square image on the label.
- In the Insert Picture box, locate and select the following file and then click OK:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Bitmaps\Styles\Globe.Wmf
- Set the Image control's SizeMode property to Stretch.
- On the Format menu, click Send to Back, so that the image is in the background behind the label's data.
- Click Print Preview on the File menu.
Note the watermark on each label.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Start Microsoft Access and open the sample database Northwind.mdb.
- Open the Customer Labels report in Design view.
- On the Edit menu, click Select All, and then on the View menu, click Properties.
- Click the Format tab, and set the Back Style property to Transparent.
- Locate the Picture property, and then type the following line in the Picture property box:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Bitmaps\Styles\Globe.Wmf
- On the File menu, click Print Preview.
Note that there is only one watermark per page.
For more information about the Picture property, click
Microsoft Access Help on the
Help menu, type

the Answer Wizard, and then click

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
