access e-mail macro

[J. Smith]

Just learning access 2003, and I am trying to build a macro that will send a
report via Outlook without having to merge or snapshot. Any information,
idea, or diection will be greatly appreciated.

J.Smith,

What format do you want the report in?

Hi, I am curious what formats are available for emailing reports?

Thanks,
Diana

Diana,

Snapshot
HTML
RTF
Excel
XML
..txt

Snapshot is the only one where you can reliably expect the appearance to
be the same as the Access report would be as printed. For example, RTF
format does not preserve graphical elements. Snapshot is great, but
does rely on the recipient to have the Microsoft Snapshot View er
installed, which not everybody has.

It is dificult with a macro, but using VBA procedures, it is also
possible to write code to send a report in PDF format.
