Snapshot Files

[Bob Barnes]

This code...
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "LNEmail", _
"Snapshot Format", M, False
...where "M" is a C: Path file..worked great before
InfoSystems replaced my PC.

Now it "creates" a .snp, but that .snp can't be read.

What software on a Windows XP/ Office 2003 Install
ACTUALLY creates a "Snapshot Format"?? If it's Access
2003, that was a constant from the old PC to the new PC.

TIA - Bob

Do you have the free snapshot viewer installed on the new pc?
It's a seperate application, guessing optional part of most office installs.
I'm sure you could download it.

If you are saying the snp file it produces is corrupt in some way or another
format, try looking at that one line of code perhaps "Snapshot Format"
should be replaced by other syntax. I seem to remember a slight change.

I would use pdf over snapshot,
HTH,

Thank you Mark.

I tried to open the snp file in Explorer, and got the "standard" trying To
Install Windows. I'll get InfoSystems here (big Compnay) to install the
Viewer.

I agree - PDF is better than SNP, but the Client wants SNP.
