Hi,

I have created a series of reports in MS Access, and i am attempting to
display them in my VB app.

Currently I have two ways of doing this,
the first is that I open up access, and let the user view the reports
through access (This is not a great solution as it is using another app to
show the reports, and does not give off a professional look)
the second is that i create a snapshot file and open that in VB with the
snapshot file control (the problem with this is that if the report is large,
it takes a long time to export it to a snapshot file)

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks a lot

The reporting engine for Access was not really designed to be used outside
of it's own environment.  Most folks use a 3rd party report designer such
as Crystal Reports.

If you want similar features of access reports, you can always use VB's Data
Report Designer - which is similar in implementation as an Access Report.

However, you will need to "recreate" your reports in the Data Report
Designer, hook up a data environment and set the reports data source to a
command object. Plenty of documentation on how to do this. Its all ADO
based. Not hard.
