Report to SnapShot with Where
I have a report that is being used two different ways:
1) DoCmd.OpenReport strReport, acViewPreview, , "ActionID = " & ActionID
2) An procedure that will loop through a recordset and open the same report but within each loop the single ActionID needs to be saved as a PDF and emailed, so I was going to use Leban's SnapshotToPDF routine. But I can't figure out how to make individual Snapshots using a 'where parameter'

Can you post your code so we do not have to recreate it?
UniqueData,
Something like the attached snip should work for you.

sorry, i am fine with the pdf creation and emailing. I am having an issue of how to create a snapshot report for a specific record. I don't see a 'where parameter' in the syntax of saving as a snapshot. And I can't make the report's recordsource look at a specific field to filter on because the report is called by two different forms for two different purposes.

ahh, perfect.
I didn't know the Output to and Open as hidden worked together like that.
Thanks

The emailing bit requires a different process.
(Should be a new question)
