For some reason, I can no longer create snapshot files of my Access reports. I used to be able to do it on my computer.
I have downloaded the recent snapshot download from microsoft.com but have had no luck.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I wondered if some can advise me as to how to make help files and linking them in to the dabase. i.e. if someone clicked on a certain section for help then it would go to the help for that section. Is there an easy program to help write the files??
View 3 Replies View Relatedi'm in the process of creating an Access database to import data in text files and then export the data as fixed width text files, this is now working fine
My next step is to be able to setup an "Archive" Table which will hold all the data i have imported across multiple import proceudres for the last 30 days, i then want to be able to "De-Dupe" any files i import against this to ensure i never load duplicate data.
I am having a problem with 3 pc's attached to our network but at a different campus. They have been complaining that the Snapshot Views of reports they are running are stopping the print queue by asking to load paper type 'bond' to the printer. I have checked the Snapshot Viewer printer settings on thoses machines and indeed they are defaulting to 'paper type - bond'. Setting the paper type to Plain or Unspecified will only print on that type for that instance. Is there anywhere to set the default paper type, i cannot find anything!!

Each day I produce reports from access and email then out using the snapshot viewer format. The majority of recipients open this find and the report is absolutely fine, however, when other recipients open the report it comes out all slanted and blurred. It almost looks like there snapshot viewer is squashing a landscape report into a portrait view. Does anyone know how to correct this, as its driving me mad trying to find an answer?
thanks:)
I am using Access 2000, Windows XP and Groupwise 6.5. I am trying to email an employee leave report using the SendObject method. I would like to use the SnapShot format. Must I save the report before I send it? I tried acFormatSNP with no success. Thanks for all your help.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the following button on a form:
When I press it a mail is being send with a snapshot attached to it
Instead of a snapshot I want it to attach it as a word document.
Here you see the code that is used. I noticed it says snapshot format on a line but I don't know what the name is for a word document.
Code:Private Sub cmdMail_Click()On Error GoTo Err_cmdMail_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim V_EmailAdres As String If Not (IsNull(Me.HauliersEMAIL.Value)) And Me.HauliersEMAIL.Value <> "" Then V_EmailAdres = Me.HauliersEMAIL.Value Else V_EmailAdres = "" End If stDocName = "TransportOrder" DoCmd.SendObject acReport, stDocName, "Snapshot Format", V_EmailAdres, , , "Transport Order BP", ""Exit_cmdMail_Click: Exit SubErr_cmdMail_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_cmdMail_Click End Sub

Hello,
I am using a useful function to save data of a form using the snapshot utility. I open the form, add or change data and sent the form to other users via e-mail. The snapshot uses a report. The code to do this is the following:
Me.Refresh
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "EmailmyForm", "SnapshotFormat(*.snp)", "", "", "", "Action Required", "Please take action on the attached case.", False, ""
I was now thinking if it is possible to save the shapshot report as a file directly into a selected folder on my S drive (ex. S0000abmyfolder. I will need that the file is automatically named for my with the SSN present on the form.
Any idea or help? Thanks.
Is there a way via code in a module to automatically create a snapshot of a report, save it in a specifed folder location in the code and save it as the current date as the file name when a button is clicked.
I'm looking on how to do this as I have many reports to create, move to an intranet folder and then name it to the current date. It will save me lots of time if this can be done automatically.
I am using MS Access 2000 and the folder location will be on my hard drive.
Thanks

First off, hello to everyone here. I have been using these forums for a couple of months now and they have helped me solve many, many problems.
I've not needed to register before now because everything I needed to find out I was able to find an answer for, so THANK YOU:)
Anyways, back to business............................
I've built a reporting application where the users basically enter details on a form that performs a few lookups to autofill some info and they input the rest.
What happens next is when they submit the 'form', it appends details to a table and sends an email with the details entered to an address specified by a populated text box on the form
One of 3rd party contractors has requested we send this info in .snp format instead of just referencing the textboxes in the body of the mail.
I have created a duplicate of the form in snapshot but cannot figure out how to do the following:
1. Reference the open form to populate the fields
2. Then attach this to the email
Any help would be greatly appreciated.......as I'm tearing my hair out (and I don't really have much left to tear out anyway)
Many thx in adv
I'm using the Snapshot Viewer control in one of my forms to display reports within the form. This works fine, except that with multiple page reports, there is no button to change pages, users have to right click and select 'next page.' In design mode the buttons to change pages and print appear at the bottom, but for some reason they don't show up when viewing the form in form view.
Has anyone run into this issue before?
Thanks

hi
i am using a macro with the outputTo method for a report. i have the report outputed as a snapshot file. it was working fine but now when it outputs the report the extension is missing; the file is created but with no extension. i tried changing the output format to excel but the extension was still missing. i also tried renaming my output report within the macro with the extension .snp and with .xls. snapshot viewer or excel would not open these programs.
anybody else come across this problem?
any ideas?
thanks

Hi,
I have been reading all of your post for days now and can't find the answer to my question.
I have however found the answer to one of my programming problems. Thanks to all of you.
I have used Access as a data supplier but this is my first attempt to program in access.
I have absolutly no experience with VB code. And a limited amount of experience with macros in access only.
My question(s) are:
1. I need to send a single report (page) in an email (snapshot format) to a person using a command button. This report should be sent from the form that the person is currently looking at. Currently my command button sends the report in snapshot format but it sends the whole database.
2. This report will be used as a tracking mechanism for another department and I will need a specific name to store the email in a certain location. So that it can be tracked at a later date. I want (that doesn't mean that it can) Access to automatically put the subject line in the email. I know under the sendobject macro you can set the subject line the same for each email. But I need the subject line to match the information in several of my text boxes from a table. For instance: Subject line should read: [Permit number][CountyId][Inspector's Initials][Date]. Can this be done at all and if so how.
Thanks so much for all that you have done already.

I have a database with sensitive data. I dont want users to change the data, so i used a snapshot query. However when i use this query in another query, the result is an updateable query.
Is there a way around this?
I have to write a code for my database,i have folder with files "pending Review" and a table with column "tblExcelLocation". when i run my database all the files from pending review folder goes to "tblExcelLocation" on a click of button.But,if the files already exists it should not insert those files and insert the rest.For this i tried to write a code but i think i m unable to do that .
Code:
Loop through files in folder
folderspec = "O:QA FilesQC ReportingPending Review"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder(folderspec)
Set fc = f.files
[code]...
Here's my problem. I run a database every monday that has several (more than 15) reports as the outcome. Due to the massive amount of information we can't build the data up every week. We need to overwrite the tables and recreate the "Reports" every week. The department I am creating this for wants to keep a snapshot on the computer of the 15+ reports instead of printing them out. But instead of simply creating a snapshot of each individual report he would like to see them in the format of one file with multiple sheets. The one file would be labeled the date the reports were created and each individual sheet would be labeled the name of the report. For example, This past monday when we rant he Db the file would have been lbld 10-3-05, and one of the many sheets would have been labeled "Selects", or "Rejects" or "Cost" and so on. Does anyone have any suggestions?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a split database made in Access 2007. Each user gets their own copy of the frontend from a script. I wanted to be able to edit the design view of the backend tables even if people were using the database so I made all the forms use snapshot source and only allowed data updates through VBA macro update queries. Having any form open locks the backend source table from being edited. In fact, I've found that just having a normal snapshot query open causes the message "Either an object bound to table 'whatever' is open or another user has the table open. Do you want to open the table as read-only?"
Is there some way to have a table be the source for a form or query, but still have it designable under most circumstances?
Attempted to late-bind a recordset on form load; result was the same:
Code:
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Select redacted as ft from tblRedacted ", dbOpenSnapshot, dbReadOnly)

Every hour a zip file is created in an FTP folder. The zip file contains an .mdb access database file with any changes to the data since the last hours file.

I am creating a database for creating quotations. The quotation number is generated using the date, for example the first quote today would be quote number "05202015-1" because it is the first one today. The next quote today would be quote number "05202015-2" and so on. Is there a way to make access automatically generate these quote numbers based on the date?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi guys.
Just a quick one, I couldn`t find anything on this or in any books I have.
I`m assuming I need to create an MDE file befire I can distribute my database for other people to use ?
Anyway, that I have done, but the question is, I`ve done this and have a select number of ppl using my database, entering LIVE data etc.
Once This has been done can I open this back up in access and make changes to the database, eg forms, reports etc etc ?
If not, is there anyway, I can pull the data out of this and import it into my origanal file, which can then be remade into an MDE ?
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
