Folks, This is an FYI. Maybe it will save some one some time or one of you can explain the cause. I use the snapshot functionality in Access so folks can send formated copies of reports (Yes I am converting to a built in pdf creator, but for now snapshots work and I don't have to buy anything) Have had good luck with the snapshots since we convereted our runtime to Access 2002. Today a customer called that we did a customization for to say that the output report as snapshot was giving an error of "The report snapshot was not created because you don't have enough free disk space .....". I can creat the error on my development machine. Checked the usual problems of faulty path, illegal characters, etc, and not satisfaction. I then started playing with the length of the file path. Turns out if the path length, including the snapshot file name and extension is longer than 126 characters you get the error. If the length is 126 or less it works as advertised. Weird! If anyone has a reason for this behavior I'd appreciate your thoughts. Doug
