The report is 27 pages long.
Snapshot works fine - thanks.
By "PDF'ing" it do you mean: while in the report's Print view, to print the report using a PDF-writer driver? Well if so, then that works as well. (I use PDF995). - thanks.
In either case I prefer the rtf format because I want to append several reports together. (Each report is generated from a different query, and each report has different fields).
One more thing. Sometimes it DOESN'T crash! In fact it may have to do with the source file. The database uses linked tables from an Excel workbook somewhere else on the company network. I noticed that when the workbook is open, the report generation - when it works - is much slower. It may be that there is a timeout in the rtf generator and when the network is slow, rather than reporting that or simply waiting, Access simply shuts down.
Perhaps those other drivers better handle a network timeout - if that indeed is the cause.
Right now I can't get the crash to happen, so I can't know for sure. Perhaps I'll try this again tomorrow at the peak network useage time.
