If you want to distribute the report and the applications to machines that
don't have access installed you have to use a 3rd part control
www.videosoft.com sell something called VSReports which is an active X
control that allows you to print access reports.
Option B (Which will only work if access is installed on every machine your
application is to go on) is to imbed the access report generator /printer
into your application using OLE.
I personally have not done this but look in the knowledgebase in the
microsoft site for examples.
Hope this helps

1. Visual Basic 5.0 Pro w/ Access 95
Hi:
I am trying to write a generic application in VB which can access an Access
95 database. I am able to do this ok using the Jet and hard coding the
database location (e.g. C:\db\etc...). However, what I would like to do is
soft code the database location and make it changeable in one place; that
way, I can take advantage of bound controls but not commit the application
to one place to find the database.
My question is can VB5.0 Professional do this? In reading I find I have
ODBCDirect capabilities but I am not quite sure what this means. Can I set
up an ODBC32 database and use the DSN name and still use bound controls? I
tried this but was not able to get the database to connect properly.
Another question: are there any disadvantages to using VB5 as a GUI for an
Access95 database? The reason I would like to code the GUI in VB5 is
because we are upgrading shortly to SQL Server and I would like to be able
to quickly migrate our applications.
Thanks in advance for the help!
