Emailed Report Doesn't Show Images

[jameshall]

Hello

My problem is that my report when I open the report after it has been Emailed the pictures/photos in the report do not appear, is there a simple way around this? The format of the report is RTF and the control on the report is a Image

Thanks In Advance

Micrsoft has developed a Report format that was intended to maintain all formatting including images as you describe. It is called SnapShot View(.snp). You must download an executeable from Microsoft and install it on the PC generating the report and also have it installed on all PC's that want to view the reports. Here is the link to the Microsoft page to download the file:

Here is an explaination of the report format:

I hope this is what you were looking for.

Thanks Very Much scriverb

Do you know of a way to programmatically make the report into a .SNP file instead of using a macro.

Try this:

DoCmd.OutputTo acReport, "YourReportName", "SnapshotFormat(*.snp)", "c:\access\ReportFolder\YourReportName", False, ""

Just change up the report name and path to your particular situation and the above will save the file programmatically.
