Problems with exporting controls with borders to .rtf

D

David Cleave

Hi al

I have a report which has a kind of tabular look created using text box and label controls with borders. I would like to be able to export this to an editable format such as .rtf, but Access doesn't export the borders

Exporting to Snapshot exports the borders just fine, but is read-only so no real use to me

Anyone got any advice on this

Thank

David

Hi David,

When you export Reports it's known that you lose some formatting (Reports
really NOT designed for this purpose). If you are needing to edit the
Report after it's exported you may want to try exporting to PDF format (but
you would have to have Adobe Acrobat, not just the reader, to edit it).

In my opinion your best option would be to create a mail merge (you have
complete control over the mail merge document).

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
