Access snapshot viewer
I'm using the snapshot format to save reports created in
Access and e-mailing them to other employees. Some are having trouble loading the viewer and looking at the reports. Does the Windows version make a difference? Will those with Windows XP be able to view the reports? Do they have to have Office loaded? |

Access snapshot viewer
Betsy,
I imagine most people have the Microsoft Snapshot Viewer installed in their computers these days. For those that haven't, it is available as a free download and simple install from (watch for word wrap!)... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en -- Steve Schapel, Microsoft Access MVP Betsy wrote: I'm using the snapshot format to save reports created in Access and e-mailing them to other employees.

Access snapshot viewer
Steve,
I'm sorry that I didn't make myself clear, but they have the instructions to install the snapshot viewer and say that they have done so. But they are still unable to read the attachments I have sent. They're asking if there's a compatibility problem between the Windows version I'm using (2000) and the one they have (XP). Is this a possibility? One person also received a message saying that he must have Office installed in order to read the snapshot reports. Is this correct?

You should not have to have Office installed and AFAIK there are no issues concerning the OS version. However; I have seen cases where certain printer drivers did not "get along" with the Snapshot Viewer. In some cases users even found that the viewer shut down their spooler service and it had to be restarted. I would see if changing the default printer driver for these users makes any difference. -- I don't check the Email account attached to this message. Send instead to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com |
