Access Reports and IIS

[stevebsc]

I am looking for some basic advice. What is the easiest way to provide Access 2000 Reports via IIS ? I have read something about using snapshot viewer to read reports using the ActiveX control in a web page; is there a Createobject type for automatically firing up Internet Explorer once I have used the acOutputReport/acFormatSNP to generate the report ? This whole area is new to me so any thoughts / advice /help would be much appreciated.

Though not as elegant as the CreateObject method (which I haven't been able to get to work, this worked for me.

i = Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe C:\Report.snp", 1)

HTH
