I have inserted the Activex Snapshot Viewer Control into a form and can view a snp file. Is there any way I can change the file the viewer looks at programmatically? What I want to select the file from a list of snapshot files in a list box or continuous form and have the Viewer show me the selected snapshot. This could be a very cool way to give the user a thumbnail of a report to see if he is selecting the right report before he takes the time to preview or print it. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Christopher Hawkins Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 3:56 PM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: RE: [AccessD] MDBs vs SQL Server "I use SQL Server almost daily, and love it.
