I worked it out, thanks anyway. Just created an access object and did it through that.
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI have a vb.net frontend solution that has an MS Access backend.
I need to produce reports from the data in the backend, and I figure the easiest way to do it is to just make the reports in the access backend and somehow call them from the vb.net frontent. So how do I print the reports from the vb.net frontend?
Also, am I able to filter the reports printed? I.e, I have a list of productions linked to performance dates. Can I put a filter in to show only productions between date x and date y?
Thanks.

Matt, I would actually recommend that you do the reports in Crystal reports. Crystal reports is included in Visual studio and is very eas to use. As far as being able to filter, you just change the SQL that the report is using.
