I am working on an Access application that is completely transactional meaning that it uses ADO recordsets instead of linked tables to access and modify data. This approach is working out well but I cannot figure out how to create an unbound report that connects itself to a recordset in the Open event. Does any one have any experience with this? Can it be done at all? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Populating a report using a recordset

In Access Help, search for "Recordset Property". They are doing that, with 2 differences:
They are using a form, not a report, and they are using the connection to the local Access DB.
I tried doing what you're looking for, and I get "This feature is not allowed in an MDB."
