I'm trying to export a report (with NO data on it) to powerpoint. My boss
wants to present the blank reports to a group. She asked if I could put all
the reports on powerpoint slide. The exported reports will need to have all
the fields, but would show no personal information. I tried to import the
ActiveX control snapshot viewer, but it says " Object library not registered"

Anyone know what I need to do?

Since you don't need a live data link, your job is CONSIDERABLY easier than
you think.

Run the report with data is OK and view it full screen.
Press the PrtSc key. (Nothing will appear to have happened. But your screen
is now on the clipboard.)
Open up MS Paint ( Start / Programs /Accessories / Paint )
Create a new image document. Size can be very small.
EDIT/PASTE - there's your report. Paint will expand the canvas if needed.
"White out" the stuff that you don't want with erase tool or white paint.
Then, either
Crop it and save as an image file
( Save it as an image - .GIF would probably be best, but JPG or WMF
will do too. )
Bring the image file into PPT slide


OR

Select the area of the image that you want, EDIT/ COPY and then paste it
directly into PPT slide.
