Program calls report

[Bell1991]

Is it possible to have a program call a report from access and display it? If so, any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks,

Depends on the program. At the very least, a "program" might be able to run a batch file that opens Access and displays a report. We don't know what you mean by "a program" and if you need anything dynamic in the report.

I apologize, i should have been more clear.

I am writing a VB windows app and rather than creating the reports in the code - i would like to create them in access and then open the report..

Yes - the report will be dynamic.. I will pass in a variable..

I typed "Open Access Report from VB" into Google and this was the first link:
