Using VB6 to Open Access 2000 Report
Does this technique (obtained from another EE question)
--------------------------
Const dbPathName = "c:\database.mdb"
Const strPassword = "PASSWORD"
Dim Acc As Object, db As Object
Set Acc = CreateObject("Access.Appli
Set db = Acc.Application.DBEngine.W
Acc.OpenCurrentDatabase dbPathName, False
Set db = Nothing
Acc.DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName", acPreview
Set Acc = Nothing
--------------------------
work if the target machine only has the VB app and the .mdb file installed (MS Office may not be installed or the same version of Access)? Any change if the .mdb is a .mde instead? This is being programmed in VB6 & Access 2000.
Thanks.

Interesting...
one thing for sure is that it won't work without Access properly installed.

emoreau,
Does your comment mean that a compiled and installed VB program would not have the necessary DLLs to open a stand-alone .mdb?
