[AccessD] Open report from remote db

Hi Lonnie,

While I haven't looked at A.D.'s implementations,
my guess is that they're sufficient to answer all of your questions.

  Thanks. I guess I should have been more revealing. 

  I have been asked to create a process by which the user can type in a database path and name into one field and a report name in another field, click a button and that report opens. So I will be adding references to the main database dynamically and through code and retrieving the report. It sounds like a pain but it's what they want. They are bent on certain conveniences like not having to open another database.

  Does that help?
   
  May God bless you beyond your imagination!

  Alright, Lonnie.
  I think the simplest method would be to create a public function
  in the referenced database that tells the report to open.
  Then it doesn't matter where you call it from, it just pops up.

    Thanks for the tip. I have set a reference but do "see it" as you say. I may need a little more hand holding. Never had to do this before.

    Hi Lonnie,

    Set a ref to that mdb and you should be able to 'see' it to call it.

      Can you open a report in one database from another database? 
       
      I know how to get the data from a query or table in another database with...
       
      "SELECT * FROM TABLE/QUERYMAME IN 'C:\MYDB.MDB'"
       
      Any help?
       
      May God bless you beyond your imagination!
