I would like to link to a Crystal Report from an Access form however I don't
know if this is possible. Can anyone advise please?

I tried using the same method that is offered for Word and Excel files but
this didn't work - any advice would be most helpful.

Thank you

Most people who use Access prefer its reporting functionality to using the
separate Crystal Reports. I fear, if you are to get an answer here, you will
have to happen upon someone who does use Crystal with Access (and, I am sure
there are some who do). I haven't used it with Word or Excel, either, so
don't know what that method may entail.

I don't have anything _against_ Crystal and, in fact, have seen some
impressive work done with it by colleagues in situations where Access
reports were not usable.

A newsgroup dedicated to Crystal Reports, or a visit to the Crystal Reports
website, might be a better source for this information.

Thanks Larry

Arvin Meyer responded to the post I put onthe general access user group and
although I haven't tried it yet I think he has supplied me enough
information to create the link.

I actually find Crystal very easy to use and from a comfort point of view
tend to revert to it when I need reports from any database however this time
round I am hoping to develop my Access Reporting skills more and only need
this as a last resort.
