How to Display an Access Report within an Access Form 2

[Accel45]

I want to be able to preview reports as part of the form.
Example: A list of reports on the left with a Frame on the right that contains the report preview.

Is this possible. If so how is it accomplished?

AFAIK it's not possible. Reports always require the whole Access window as the container.

Checkout the snapview.ocx. The report will have to be generated to a Filename.snp. It can then be viewed using the same ocx as the snapviewer.exe. With a little research even using the SnapView.exe help file you can create your own custom viewer.

Good idea TreeGuy.
Never used it before but I've just tried it with a few buttons on a form to select the snapshot to be viewed and it works fine.

You just set the snapshotpath property to the .snp file you want to view.


Me.SnapshotViewer0.SnapshotPath = vpath
(vpath contains the path as a string).
