Print Snap (.snp) file later

[Guest]

I've got code which creates Snap (.snp) files from Access data via the
OutputTo command using the acFormatSNP format option. I want to print the
result from file later (e.g., "c:\My Documents\report.snp") rather than
executing the Access report again. What command(s) would I use?

That's Unreal Kit - just been pursuing the same thing myself and here's the
code I used:

DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, DocName, "snapshot format", gr_graph_desc &
".snp"

Where DocName is the actual name of the report (i.e. rpt_DWG) and
gr_graph_desc is the view name of the report (i.e. Drawing Register).

This will save a copy of the report in snp format in the My Documents folder
on your computer.

Thanks to all for the help in getting this.

Isn't this fun?

Actually, I'd already created the file via the OutputTo command.

Now I want to open the .snp file in VB code and send it to print. I
explicitly don't want to run the Access report again, as data may have
changed and I want specifically the "snapshot" that was generated earlier. I
need the Windows-y code that would be equivalent to right-clicking on a .snp
file and selecting "Print".

Sorry Kit - that's out of my bounds - best of luck.
