Printing Access Report with Snapshot viewer control (SNAPVIEW.OCX)

I have developed a Visual Basic program that uses the Snapshot Viewer Control
(SNAPVIEW.OCX). The data was exported from an Access report into a .snp
file. I have two questions:

1) I am using the PrintSnapshot method to print the reports. Is the some
way that I can control the properties? For example, I only want to print the
selected page, not all pages or a range.

2) I have found that it takes an incredibly long time to view the first
report page when there are more than just a few reports in the .snp file. In
one example, I have 13,000 pages and I don't see the first page for at least
15 minutes. Is there a way to improve on this?

Thanks in advance for any information or help provided.

Sorry...

Actually, I was trying to follow the suggestion you had posted on your
web-site. Steve - I was hoping you might respond. I have also posted this
to VB sites earlier and nobody knows anything about the Snapview.ocx viewer.
Can you help? I can't find documentaton for this anywhere.

I answered your question in my previous post, the simple answer is no to
both questions.

Sorry, I missed it the first time. My attention was more focused on your
other comment.

So, now I have to regroup. Apparantly Sanpview won't do what I need. I
have seen hints of being able to write and read snapshots from a Jet
database.

I've been doing a lot of searching, but haven't been very successful at
finding much in print about SnapShot or SnapView. Can you direct me to any
write-ups or documentation on how to put sanpshot reports into and pull them
out of my own database? It would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Why not send to a pdf file?

It is widely supported (more so then snapshot).

Given that you got such a large number of pages, I don't know if pdf would
be faster, but there is LARGE number pdf makers on the web, and many are
free.
