Snapshot Viewer

[Cherly]

This probably is not the forum to post this in but I
figured I would try....
I am trying to install Snapshot Viewer on my boss's laptop-
I have installed this program in the past and have had no
problems. I go through the installation process and
everything looks to run fine- when I try and open a
snapshot file through an email it asks wether I would like
to open the file or save it ... I select open and it tries
to install some 2000 Office Professional application... I
click cancel and another error message pops up. Anyone
have any ideas as to what can be wrong? I beleive he has
been upgraded to XP.
Thanks in advance. CC

Each version of Office has its' own version of the Snapshot viewer. The
version of OS has nothing to do with the version of the viewer you install.
The viewer is already installed when you install Office. If he has Office XP
and you are trying to view a report created from Office/Access 2000, then
you do need to install the 2000 version of the viewer.

I don't believe this is correct. AFAIK there are two versions of the
Snapshot Viewer version 9 and version 10. I don't think that the versions
have anything to do with a particular version of Office. Certainly the
utility of the viewer would be greatly diminished if you had to have a copy
for every version of Office.

The version of the Snapshot Viewer at the following URL should work with all
versions of Access from 97 through to 2003 ...

newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.

There are some security updates to the Snapshot Viewer that also require
certain Service Packs. You can read the details in the following Knowledge

Arvin,

this didn't work...someone else had also mentioned to make sure you have the
snapshot installation file right on the computer you are gonna install
on...this didn't work either.
Anyone else have any ideas????

The only problems I ever had with the Snapshot viewer were with the older
version that was distributed with the Access 97 Service Pack. Those were
fixed by uninstalling SR1 and then reinstalling it after a reboot, followed
by installing SR2. You might, as an interim measure, until you get the
problem worked out, use one of the free PDF makers such as CutePDF:
