I have an access database that is currently being used by some clients (police departments). I created a vb.net application that does facial recognition and fingerprint scanning. When I get a match I want to be able to give them the opportunity to print out a record check of that individual. That record check is currently in Access. What I need to be able to do is run that report in access. I know how to interact with the access databas and pull up the report however this vb.net program runs from a link within the database.
It opens a second copy of the database, which I don't want to do. So I either have to find a way to do this without opening a second copy of the database, or some how recreate the record check report from vb.net Can someone give me some guidiance on how I can do this?

Thanks for the links.. The record check for me to recreate in crystal would take a very long time. Is there anything in vb.net that will allow me to interface with an existing opened access database? I know I can retrieve the application by using FindWindow API call, but not quite sure how to implement it in this situation.
