Using Access Reports in other EXE file

[LLaurent]

Hello
I'd like to use access reports from any access version XP, 2000 or 97;
because of the easy way to build such reports.
Have you ever found or built any solutions permitting to reuse such access
reports objects in other exe files, developped in Visual Basic, Visual
Studio or even Delphi....

Thanks a lot for your suggestions

Hi.

Most programming languages support launching an executable, so the Snapshot
Viewer executable would be a good choice for viewing reports exported from
Access as Snapshot (*.SNP) files. Access would not need to be installed on
the computer in order to view the snapshot reports.

The Snapshot Viewer is freely downloadable from Microsoft and can read
snapshot files created in Access 97 through 2003. One may download the
Snapshot Viewer and both security patches from links on this Web page:

HTH.

If Access is installed on the machine in addition to the additional
application(s), you may be able to use Automation to launch the Access
reports.
