I have an Access report which I wish to e-mail. The instructions say to
create a .snp file and e-mail it. That I can do and have done. I am looking
for a way to password protect that file.

I have not been able to find a way to do it. In Office Word documents I can
find the appropriate method but have not found something that will work for
this format.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't ever recall seeing a password option for an .SNP file. I
would suggest using Winzip or similar to zip the SNP file with a
password.
