ActiveX linking

I have a ver 8.1 set of reports that use linking of a bmp image along with data from Foxpro databases. One of the reports will display an image on the screen but will not print the image either through print preview or the Foxpro application. The image on the screen will not update to the latest image that the link points to.____If I preview the report and display the page with the bmp image and print the current page, the image will print but not if I print the entire report.____I have two other similar reports on the same machine, directory, and printer that work fine. ____How can this happen? Can it be repaired without recreating the report?____Thanks

These reports can be moved between the client and the office computers several times before the finish report is completed. Is it possible that the report being opened on a couple different computers with different printers installed could cause the ActiveX to function in an unusual manner?

If I print out a report specification for the report that DOES NOT print the bmp image, tbe bitmap image is not on any of the defined report lines.____If I print out a report specification for a report that DOES print the bmp image, there is a bitmap image defined on a report line.____The ActiveX is not updating the printed report and if the bmp image file is changed, the bmp is not updated on the viewable report.____I have tried to print this report from several computers to several different printers, on all of them the bmp image does not print.
