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.

I appreciate your input, as I am new to this type of forum. Actually, I
thought I was following the recommendation found on your web site.

If you have anything helpful regarding the question, it would be appreciated.

Lee I gave you the answer. While I realize it is not what you want to hear,
the answer is still no.

With that being said, it is certainly possible to render individual pages
from the Snapshot Metafile without using the Snapshot OCX/App at all.
Unfortunately, there is a bug/feature that would result in any lines
rendered with the Line tool would not show on the print out. I am currently
trying to find a workaround to this issue. If I do I will let you know.

Steve,

Thanks for the information. I will keep looking for other solutions for my
application. I would be interested in hearing from you again if/when the
issue you describe is resolved.
