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

[Guest]

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.

Would you please stop multiposting. Crosspost to multiple NG's at once
instead of individually. To understand why see:

The answer to both your questions is no.

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.
