Snapshot file data

[Guest]

Hi,

Is there a (direct) way to import data from snapshot file to Access table?

 

[Douglas J. Steele]

I don't believe there's any way (direct or otherwise)

No...not really. The Snapshot file is a compressed Structured Storage file
containing Streams, one for each page of the report. The data in each
individual Stream comprises an Enhanced Metafile. You certainly could
enumerate the Metafile records and store the text from the relevant records.
As I am already enumerating the records in a current project I will look at
adding this capability to the next release(ReportToPDF).

An easier method is to use the Microsoft Plain Text printer driver and print
to file.
