MS Visual Basic Question

    We are trying to open an access report through vb application. We already have bits and peices of code but the declaration of the object does not work(access.application). How exactly do you declare an access database as an object in vb.


    Another way of sloving this problem is opening up an access form with a button.How do you do this. Need to use a frame or code or both?

    Post a couple of lines of code please.

    Dim accessApp As Object
    Set accessApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
    accessApp.Visible = true
    creates the object dynamically.

    Dim accessApp As Access.Application
    Set accessApp = New Access.Application
    accessApp.Visible = true

    creates the object statically but requires the object to be in the Project -> References section.

    This performs better and gives you autocomplete when you are developing.
