Report to .rtf showing gridlines

F

Friday

If I run a Report in MS Access it shows gridlines I used in designing the
report.
If I export the Report to rtf the gridlines are no longer visible.

How does one export to rtf and keep the gridlines visible?
Or is there a workaround to achieve this?

Thanks

AFAIK, the only "built-in" way to export graphics from an Access report is
to export to a .snp (snapshot) file. The most common 3rd party method is to
export from Access to a pdf file using a pdf printer driver. Neither of
these, by themselves, would create a file that could be opened in Word.

MVP Stephen Lebans has posted a utility that will take snp files and convert
them to word docs (it actually exports to snp and then converts that file to
rtf in one step as far as the user is concerned). One thing that you would
have to do is replace any existing lines in your Access reports with "flat"
rectangles, per his notes at http://www.lebans.com/ReportUtilities.htm
Depending on what your "gridlines" are this may be worth exploring. There
are probably other solutions out there, but this is the only one that I'm
personally familiar with.
