Snapshot Viewer - Greek symbols not rendered in snp file

P

Phil Brooks

MS Access 2000; SP3 installed.

I have a report that contains Greek symbols (ALT-0234, Ω
or Ohms symbol). When I preview the report and print it
from Access, the Omega character is displayed and printed
properly.

When I generate a Snapshot file
(DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, stDocName,
acFormatSNP, "C:\TempCert.snp", False); the snapshot
viewer displays an "O" instead of Omega, printing from
Snapshot Viewer is consistant with what Snapshot Viewer
displays.

I need to store an image of the document as printed for
tracability, but this is a scientific doc and uses many
symbols (Mu, Omega, Plus/Minus, Degrees symbols).

I'm storing the SNP file as an OLE in the database. I've
tried PDF, but I've got many stations making Acrobat
licensing too expensive. I've tried the Ghostscript route,
but it's complicated and I've had limited success.
