How can produce a TIFF image from a MSAccess Report?

The quickest way is probably to get a TIFF print driver. There is a
commercial driver available here:

If you are doing this for faxing purposes, your fax software may
provide its own printer driver.

If you are usng WinFax, their SDK provides for this. Here is a link to
some tools and sample code to help you set this up.

"print driver" tiff

Groups Search Strategy:

Good luck!

Chris99,

Before going out and changing your fax software, investigate your
current fax software. Many of the more recent packages have automation
and imaging capabilites.

Not a request, but I can't add a comment now ...
If anyone else has this problem I suggest that they look at Crystal
reports. It is likey that you can identically re-produce the report,
and Crystal's extensive range of export filters means that although
you can't produce a TIFF image, you can automate fax sending to
numerous fax addresses using a bit of VB code and a decent filter.
I have successfulyl used the Word for Windows export filter to export
directly to fax, and images (but not lines) are kept in the document.
Marvallous.

I'm glad you found a good solution, Chris99.

I've been able to produce a TIFF image using a printer driver, so my
question was indeed answered. However, as this is really a "print"
command I can't automate the sending of it by sending a recipient -
this is not an expected field for a printer driver. It looks like the
WinFax pro software might be able to help me out, but I'll have to
spend lots of money, and persuade our SA's to change the fax software
on our exchange server!

Thanks for the tips though Hammer
