Acces reports

[per-i]

Hello all,

I have heard it a lot but i can't find any info about it. Is it possible to use Acces reports in VB6? If so how can i call a report from acces in VB6?

I am not sure if it is possible, but i just wanted to know.

Many thanx in advance,

u will have to use automation in order to open the reports.

This means that Access will have to be installed on the end users computer.

If that is an option, let me know, and I'll explain how to do it.

Hello Peet,

Well that may work great. But what does it do then whenn i cal the report? Does it startup acces and shows the report or does it print it? One other thing, if i want to design reports and have a print preview, what would you advice. The visal basic report designer or crystal reports?

Greetings,

yes access will start, (u don't need to show that to the user, but it will start)

I use a report tool from datadynamics called Active Reports.... I'v found it to be very good
