access thread: bmp or tif file export?


Message #1 by anonymous on Fri, 22 Feb 2002 00:21:11
I need to export an Access report or form to .bmp, .tif, or .pcx format.



I sort of did it manually via .rtf and PowerPoint, (export to .rtf, and

bring that file into PowerPoint, and export from there). That could be

automated, but I not all of my users have PowerPoint.



Is there a better way to do it from Access?



My ultimate goal is to produce WinFax .fxs files (for fax attachments) from

Access objects (forms or reports), but the WinFax SDK can only convert from

these file formats, and a few other proprietary ones.



thanks in advance,

Hi!



It is possible to export reports direct to WinFax from Access.



I do not know the details but have a look at the WinFax website - something

like 

www.symantec.com

There is an addin, available from Microsofts download area 

called "Snapshot Viewer" which converts Access reports to a format that 

may work for you.



Search on "snapshot viewer" or "report80.snp"
