Current Date in Report Snapshot Viewer

[Keith]

Is there a way to generate a report snapshot that shows the currrent date as
of the time the user views or prints the snapshot from snapshot viewer?

Thanks,

Keith

Thanks for the response.

I'm not looking for the date the report was run. I'm looking to output the
current system date in snapshot viewer at the time the user opens and prints
the snapshot file. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Keith

I have thought about moving to pdf's. This may clinch it!

Thanks again for your input.

Not me. I'm skeptical there is a way ... I'm interested to see if one of the
uber-gurus knows of one.

Have you considered moving away from Snapshots and using PDF? I suspect that
Adobe Acrobat might give you much more flexibility. Once I started using the
Lebans PDF function, I haven't even glanced back at snp.

Thanks for the response.

I don't know of a way to do this with a snapshot or with a pdf.

HOWEVER, my question is why do you need to the print date. The data is static
in either a snapshot or a pdf. I would think you would want the creation date
(the data is valid as of this date) not the print date.

Just curiousity on my part.
