access reports with vb6.0

[bbxrider]

vb6.0/ access 2000
from a vb .frm i can easily send an access report to a default printer with
objAccess.DoCmd.OpenReport "RptName", acNormal

is it possible to invoke the 'full' access preview and/or print report
functionality
where i can obtain a directory location and file type using vb input schemes
like textboxes or whatever
and then pass that to access to duplicate the file/export functionality

been going thru the obj browser in vb to look for export, etc but doesn't
seem to be there

also even when trying the above code with acPreview instead of acNormal
there is no
error but nothing happens either

To support acPreview, you've goto to add a looping pause in your code to
cause it not to immediately exit once the preview is invoked as in:

objAccess.DoCmd.OpenReport "MyReport", acViewPreview
While objAccess.SysCmd(acSysCmd, _
GetObjectState, acReport, "MyReport") = acObjStateOpen
DoEvents
Wend
objAccess.Quit

Most of the Access menu items (such as Export) are part of the
DoCmd.RunCommand methods.

this code doesn't work
If IsMissing(intDisplay) Then intDisplay = acPreview
If IsMissing(strFilter) Then strFilter = ""
If IsMissing(strWhere) Then strWhere = ""
objAccess.DoCmd.OpenReport strRptName, intDisplay, strFilter, _
strWhere
While objAccess.SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acReport, "voldatarpt1") =
acObjStateOpen
DoEvents
Wend
again nothing happens and no error message either
