Haven't been able to find any info on this at all so I'm not sure it's even possible....want to export each report page to an image file, or a page to the clipboard.

Anyone with ideas?

Thanks
 
SnagIt from TechSmith allows you to print to SnagIt where you can save as an image file such as JPG. I'm not sure about the paging.

Thanks Duane, apologies for not being specific.
I want to do this in VBA, and export or copy each page to the clipboard as an image. I have a strong feeling this is not possible.
 
I am wondering why do all of this? "copy each page to the clipboard as an image" doesn't seem possible since the clipboard contains a single object.

I haven't done much programming of the printer object in Access but you can manage/manipulate a fair amount of properties with the recent Access versions.

Appreciate your reply Duane on two fronts:

1. We have a need to supply some documents in Word *.doc format without any editing required. It has been quite easy to convert Access reports to PDF (courtesy of Stephen Lebans - thank you), while similar options to create RTF files has been of mixed success. I can automate Acrobat 6.0 distiller to create uneditable Word documents from PDF files using page images pretty easily and with excellent results, so I'm wondering if I can do the same directly from Access reports.

2. Never even considered the printer object Duane, so thanks for that and that's definitely worth a star from me.

Thanks again.
