Exporting a report to JPG/TIFF

P

Peter Hill

Hello,

I'm using Access2000 and have created a report with a graph on it. Over the
top of the graph, depending on what options the user has selected, there are
a number of lines and vertically oriented text boxes, coloured squares etc.

I want to do more than just print it or view it. I want to be able to
export to a jpg file so that it may be used otherwise (eg. embedded in a
word/excel doc, emailed away etc etc).
At the moment, the closest I have to achieving this is printing it to a PDF
file then attempting to embed that PDF inside a word doc, but (though I admit
I haven't tried to hard at this), I haven't been particularly successful.
I tried using the snapshot option, but generally if people receive a SNP
file, they don't know what it is, and then (even though it is free?) won't
have the viewer installed.

Is there any way of exporting a report/form(formatted for printing) to a
jpeg or tiff file?

I've seen the universal document converters used to do this, but is there a
way to do this without the need for this software? I'd even be happy if it
exported the print preview to the clipboard (as long as it kept it's size
ratio).

Thanks in advance.

The current version of Office includes a TIFF 'printer'. Install
the Office document printer driver, and print to it. If you don't
have Office 2003, there might have been something similiar in
Office XP. If you don't have Office XP, maybe a more general
graphics group might be able to help you.
