Exporting Snapview (.snp) reports from Access 2002 Runtime

[Henri Basson]

I develop Access applications which are usually run using
the runtime version of Access 2002 on my clients'
computers. The runtime version, however, does not seem to
allow the generation of Snapshot Viewer (snp) files of the
reports. Is this an intentional design feature, or am I
missing something in setup/references?

I would appreciate assistance with this one.

I have many Access 97 Runtime Apps that can do this. I would be surprised if they
took that ability out in 2002. Are you doing this in code or from a menu bar?

Have you installed the snapshot viewer?
Are you using Access security?

The Snapshot *Viewer* is not required to *create* SNPs. Only to view them.

Thanks for your response Rick.

I use a custom toolbar with code:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport,,"Snapshot Format", <path>
It works fine when I run the full version of Access 2002.

Thank you for that information

It does not answer the questions, which are relevant

I believe they changed the type constant. "Snapshot Format" worked in Access 97.
For 2002 I believe it is "acFormatSNP". Perhaps the full version is more backwards
compatible than the Runtime.

In A2K the value of acFormatSNP was <Snapshot Format (*.snp)>

I've already tried that constant without success. Thanks

again for the suggestion. If I crack this one, I will let
you know.

Does it work on your development machine with the /runtime switch?
