Access 2000 Runtime - Reports

[Sudhakara]

Hi,
Can anyone let me the basics of Access 2000 runtime
reporting with Visual Basic 6.0. If you have any sample
codes on these, please let me know or some links wherein I
can get the basics of them.

Regards
Sudhakara.T.P.

You must have Access itself, or the runtime, installed on the machine. You
can either start up Access with a SHELL command, and pass a command line to
execute a particular macro that will open your report, or you can study COM
automation for controlling Access from VB (which is a non-trivial subject,
not suitable for a newsgroup response).

What you can't do is to just run an Access report in VB, they way you can
access Access (really Jet) tables directly from VB.
