Hi
I need to print a snapshot report file from our intranet.
I can display the report using the snapshot viewer embedded in an asp page, setting the SnapshotPath property in code.
I cannot, however, figure out how to print the report automatically.
i know the user can press the print icon on the embedded viewer, but I want to give the option to just print a report (or several) automatically.

Any ideas, please?

I believe printing automatically would require some fairly complex programming something along the lines of an ActiveX component.

The next best option would be to put the following in the page:

<body onload="window.print()">

This will bring up the print dialogue box automatically when the page opens.

window.print() just prints what appears is visible in the browser window. The viewer control is a scrollable container for multipage reports.

managed with the following javascript:

Code: 
function printReport2(strReport)
{
	var strObj;

	strObj = "<OBJECT id=SnapshotViewer style='LEFT: 0px; TOP: 0px' height='0%' width='0%' classid='CLSID:F0E42D60-368C-11D0-AD81-00A0C90DC8D9' VIEWASTEXT>"
	strObj = strObj + "<PARAM NAME='_ExtentX' VALUE='16933'>"
	strObj = strObj + "<PARAM NAME='_ExtentY' VALUE='12700'>"
	strObj = strObj + "<PARAM NAME='_Version' VALUE='65536'>"
	strObj = strObj + "<PARAM NAME='SnapshotPath' VALUE='[URL unfurl="true"]http://apollo04.shb.co.uk/David/Snapshots/Reports/20060306/Options/ibisandintas.snp'>"[/URL]
	strObj = strObj + "<PARAM NAME='Zoom' VALUE='4'>"
	strObj = strObj + "<PARAM NAME='AllowContextMenu' VALUE='-1'>"
	strObj = strObj + "<PARAM NAME='ShowNavigationButtons' VALUE='-1'></OBJECT>"

	
	var snpDiv = document.getElementById("snapshotDiv");
	snpDiv.innerHTML = strObj;
	var snp = document.getElementById("SnapshotViewer");
	snp.PrintSnapshot(false);

}
