Hi,

I have a snapshot of an Access report file that I am
using as an order form for my web page. The snapshot file
requires a snapshot viewer file to be downloaded if the
user does not have Access on their computer.

Can I in some way use a copy command to get a picture
of the snapshot file, and make it available to users to
print without having to have Access or the snapshot viewer
file to be downloaded.
 
If you have access to the original report then you can create an RTF
file that can be opened in MS Word or WordPad. See:
http://www.lebans.com/ReportUtilities.htm
ReportUtilities a suite of utilities with 5 Features:

1) Export to MS Word. Output exact duplicate of a Report to RTF,
including formatting and all graphics. This file can be loaded into MS
Word for limited further editing or inclusion into a larger document.

2) Export to WordPad. Output duplicate of a Report to RTF, including
formatting and all graphics. This file can be loaded into MS WordPad for
viewing and/or Printing.

3) Save Report to Enhanced Metafile format. One EMF file for every Page
of the Report.

4) Save Report to the older Metafile format. One WMF file for every Page
of the Report. This format may be imported by FrontPage as a Clip and
then saved to the Web page as an WMF not a GIF or JPEG! This means about
10KB to 15KB average per Report Page.

5) Print To Fit functionality. Output multiple Report pages per single
output page. 2up, 3up or 4up etc. Printer selection is independent of
the original Report. For instance you could output a Report of Legal
size pages to standard Letter size. Does not require MS Word.
