Sorry, in my enthusiasm I forget the main point I wanted to make here. :) Back to Rocky's original question, with Snagit you don't open the report preview, and then capture a screen shot. Well, you could, and that would give good results. But Snagit also acts as a printer driver, so best and easiest is to just print the report directly to Snagit, and then you can do what you want with it and save it to whatever image format you want.

Snagit is fantastic. I just did a rough tally up, and I reckon I have used Snagit already about 10 times today. Converted some PDFs to JPGs and put them into a document. Converted some EPSs to PNGs, made transparent backgrounds and tweaked some colours. Re-jigged and re-sized some logos. Captured and annotated some screen shots to assist with some customer support. I don't know how I'd live without it. :) Regards Steve -----Original Message----- From: Doug Murphy Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 12:30 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Report To jpg If time is worth anything for the $50 Snagit costs you would be money ahead and have a professional tool that supports capture of full screen, sections, scrolling screen, editing of capture for annotation, highlighting, whatever and then saving in whatever image format you want. When I moved to Windows 7 I used the Snipping Tool thing for a little while but all you could do was grab an image. If you wanted to do anything to it then you had to save, open up in another program, edit and then put in your document. Way too much time and effort for something that should be simple.

The 64 bit version is $30.
