Please help: Snapshot Viewer corrupted?...
Hi guys
My database creates snapshot files and saves them to a folder. For some reason I'm now unable to view the .snp files. I've done a repair and then a reinstall of Office XP and still the files wont open. Immediately after the reinstall I got it to open a particular file once using the Open With command but now that doesn't work! When I double-click on a .snp file it just hangs and eventually an error dialogue appears stating that Windows is unable to find the file that I just double-clicked on (!?) If I double-click SNAPVIEW.EXE it doesn't open either. I have to keep going into Task Manager and ending the process each time. I've looked under File Types and the location of the executable is correct for .snp files. I'm at my wits end. Any ideas what's wrong and how I might rectify it? Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi, Lee.
It sounds like your Windows Registry settings are messed up. This occasionally happens when new software is installed or existing software is uninstalled. To fix it, you may want to uninstall Snapshot Viewer, then reinstall it. If you can't find your MS Office CD to reinstall it (or don't trust the file on it), then you may download and install a free copy of the Snapshot Viewer from the following Web page: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en HTH.

Thanks for the advice Camaro but I'm afraid I've already tried this. I've
tried removing and reinstalling Snapview view the Office CD and I've also loaded the downloaded version. Strange isn't it. I've run out of ideas now. "'69 Camaro" wrote: Hi, Lee.
