I need to save report in excel and have it show the pictures in .

[Guest]

I have a report that I need to send out to my regional offices - most of them
do not have Access - but they all have excel -

The access report has a photo (.bmp) in one of the of the fields that
changes per record. How can I sent it to excell or word and have the picture
show?

If you want to preserve the formatting (and pictures) in a report, you'd
generally save and send it using the Microsoft Snapshot format and
distribute the snapshot viewer to all your users. You could also try to
save it as a PDF file using a third-party PDF writer such as "cutepdf.exe".

I don't think you will have much luck getting exactly what you want with
Excel or Word. They are not really intended to save the exact formatting.

or better yet; you could jsut export to the built in Snapshot format

docmd.outputTo has an argument for snapshot format (SNP)

they MIGHT need to install the viewer in the other offices; that is
much simpler and better than all that PDF bullcrap you'd have to put up
with
