"Export To" Button

I've created an application within Access that on opening shows just a
switchboard form and the most basic menu and buttons available in Access.
When selecting a report (from a switchboard item, performing the OpenReport
method) it opens the reports in preview mode. The built-in buttons in the
toolbar only allow for "export to word" and "analyze with excel." I'd like
to add a button that would export to a "snapshot" version of the reports. Is
this possible since I've set the application to open with the bare-bones
menus and toolbars?
 
Right-click on the toolbar, select "Customize," and then go to the "Command"
tab. Click on "File" under "Categories" and on the right you will see
"Custom." Click on "Custom" and drag it to your toolbar. Once on the
toolbar, right click the new button and set the text with the Name property.
Right click again and select Properties and set the On Action property to
the name of a macro or Visual Basic function which uses the OutputTo action
or method respectively.
