How to launch CR XI from Access 2007

[trixiegrrl]

Hello,

We have Access 2007 and we have Crystal with an Oracle back end. When you click the command button in Access, we want to launch a report stored in Crystal. Please advise, thanks.

Crystal Reports or Crystal Server? Which version?

There is no was to directly run a report from a command prompt. You need to either use the SDK and write the code to do it, use the free Crystal Viewer download that's available from SAP, or find a third-party tool that will run the report. A good source for what's available for third party tools is Ken Hamady's site at
