Page Format Bug in Snapshot

When exporting a multi-page report to snapshot, a page format bug occurs that
results in the entire page image being minimized (size-reduced) and
positioned in the top left quarter of the selected page orientation. In
effect, a 1/4 scale image of the report page appears oriented to the top left
quadrant of the page layout. Same result occurs whether report originates
from portrait or landscape orientation source in Access. However, report
image is complete and accurate as compared to source, just miniaturized! One
other symptom is that when snapshot file is opened, the zoom function via
right-click mouse button does NOT activate any view options like zoom to
percentage, or fit to window or others. Same problem before and after
installing 2003 Snapshot Viewer security patch to version 10.0.5529
(snapview.ocx) and 10.0.4622 (snapview.exe). Any comments or suggestions?
 
It is a resolution issue. Here is an older post of mine on this subject:


Every other time this issue has come up it has been because either :


1) A Report is exported to Snapshot with the Default printer selected as
the "Specific Printer" but with a current resolution selected lower than
the default setting.(think about it<grin>)
or

2) The Report was corrupted. Export it to another MDB and then re-Import
it.


It has always been one of the above issues. I'm open to new things but
I'll put my money on #1.

Thanks for the tip, Stephen. By selecting the report page setup option
"specific printer" and "standard" print quality, the report exports to
snapshot at 100% scale. However, I notice that the snapshot view still does
not allow zoom options via right-click mouse button. This function works in
Access report view, and I thought it was enabled in Snapshot view?
 
It works here(right click Zoom) with A2003 and the Snapshot Viewer
application.
