Hello,
How I view crystal reports (.rpt) with access 2007?

I may be operating in too much ignorance here, so take my observations with
a grain of salt ...

I thought that Crystal Reports gave you a way to generate reports based on a
set of data.

If that's accurate, then I don't see how Access can "read" a Crystal
Reports, any more than it could read a PDF file.

Are you looking to do in Access (i.e., create a report) what you've done in
Crystal Reports? If so, point Access at the same data store and create the
report in Access.

Good luck!

Hi Jeff,
I have not explained well.
I have done the reports with crystal reports and now I wanted to create a
"report viewer" by using Access and Crystal Reports DLLs.
I know that Visual Studio or Visual Basic 6 has been made this viewer....
I wanted to do the same thing using Access.

I would guess the Crystal Reports ActiveX viewer control would work on an
Access form.
It's just a weird concept since if Access is in the mix you usually use
Access reporting.

Try installing the ActiveX viewer and adding a reference and see if you can
put the control on a form.
