    Export report running under Runtime 2007

    I have an application developed in Access 2000, to be distributed as
    an MDE. For those folks without Access, they install the free Access
    2007 runtime. For the most part, this seems to be working well.
    However, when viewing a report in Preview mode, if you right-click and
    select the "Export" option (I have defined a custom menu which
    includes the standard "export" option), when using the runtime you
    immediately get an error, which says, "you tried to perform an
    operation involving a function or feature that was not installed in
    this version".

    Now, I know from some research that Access 2007 no longer supports
    exporting a report in Excel format, but this error comes up before you
    even try to choose a format. It works fine under the full version of
    2000 and 2002, but not the runtime.

    Any ideas why this is, and if there is any way to fix or get around
    it?

    Thanks,

    Tim

      Re: Export report running under Runtime 2007

      The export commands under preview mode use the "OutputTo" commands. These
      are currently unavailable in the runtime (except, oddly enough, the snapshot
      format, I believe). I hear it's supposed to be fixed in the 2nd 2007
      runtime release.

      I would bet your problem and the above are linked..

      Hope this helps,

      Andy
