    Try looking at the "Creating a Simple Data Report" link on the left of that page... it guides you thru the whole process.

    I tried, but on like the 3rd step is says
    "3. # On the Data Link Properties dialog box, click Microsoft Jet 3.51 OLE DB Provider. This selects the correct OLE DB provider for accessing a Jet database."
    I can't find "Data Link Properties"

    At the top of the "DataEnvironment" window, it's the 8th icon along (when you hover on it, it is labeled "properties").

    I am having trouble following that tutorial, specifically part 5 of datareport
    5. From the Data Environment designer, drag the CompanyName field (under the Customers command) onto the Group Header (Customers_Header) section.

    The Group Header section can contain any field from the Customers command, however, for demonstration purposes, only the Customer name is displayed at this time.
    I don't see what it means, I just need help making something so I can print off a specific table from an Access database from VB6

    Like most others on the forums, I dont use the Data Report or Data Environment myself. As so few use them, it will be hard for you to get assistance from us - which it seems you will probably need much more of.

    I would recommend just using the Printer object instead, as it allows you to print whatever you like directly from VB code.

    A decent example for it can be found here. You will want to change the code a bit so that it uses a loop to print the rows of data.
