Hello,

I have a MS Access database where a couple of colleagues have to update som data, and wishes to keep the number of Access-licences at a minimu.

Therefore I am woundering if it is posible to reach and and run a predefined MS Access-form from Visual Basic whitout too much programming?

If so, how?

I am grateful for all kind of tips.

Thanks in advance.

best regard

Stig

 
I don't know about running the form within access but you can do almost everything and then some from VB. You can open,read,add new,delete,update,and print. I would also say you can do much more but that is my limit for now. Basicly what I did was build a front end for my access database in VB. Now the fun is the code there is lots of it and very little help to get you there. You can use in VB 6.0 there is a VB aplication wizzard to get you on the right track. The problem was you have to tweak the heck out of what the wizzard gives you to get it to work, but it is basicly there. Good luck!!
