Snapshot (legal size)

[Joe C]

I have a routine I took over running in access. It exports to snapshot. When I run the macro it exports the report to snapshot but does not make it legal size. Chopping off part and putting it on another 8*11 landscape.
When I export without the macro it goes to legal in the snapshot viewer. What is the Macro missing or is there some know why this is happening.

Hey,

Care to post the macro? I'm not promising anything but that will help!

I wonder, is it really necessary to send to snapshot? What purpose does this serve?

Do you need to convert a report to a graphic, or something to that effect?

Hope we can help,

Any help is appreciated

Oooh,

I didn't realize it was code like that. What is snapshot(I'm guessing an image maker/viewer), maybe if no one around know how to work with that code, we can set something up in Access to do what you need.
I'm thinking something as simple as a report that looks like whatever snapshot was giving you.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Let us know about snapshot though, there's always the hope of a work-around,

Here is the URL for the snapshot viewer--

and here is the MS list of Snapshot articles-

Incidentally, you can send snapshots (of Access reports) from 1 W98 system to another W98 system and they look fine. I tried sending WXP to W98 and only the graphics appeared--no text. Microsoft doesn't appear to know about this failing.
