How do I make Access97 recognize the option of creating snapshot (.snp) files?

According to the Microsoft website "If you have installed Microsoft Access Service Release 1 or Microsoft Office 97 Service Release 1, you automatically have the ability to save Microsoft Access reports as snapshot files." I am at service release 2 and have been unable to find a way to make Access see snp files.

I have downloaded the snapshot viewer and it makes no difference.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. If I could put the small group of users that need this functionality on 2000 or 2003 now I would, but that is not an option at the moment.
 
Disregard this one. I finally actually looked and I DID NOT have service pack 1 installed. Some time ago I had to uninstall several programs including my Office97 installation. When I reinstalled I was apparently in too big of a hurry to do the service packs and then forgot about it. Once I installed SP1 the snapshot functionality was there as big as life.
