Francisco, Last year (or therabouts) I read an interesting article in one of the tip sheets (Inside MS Access or Smart Access) that described a method using Access 2003 as a .NET reporting vehicle. It leveraged A2K3s XML reporting feature via ASP.NET. I'm out of the office today but I'll try to find the article for you. Nothing better than a tool you're familiar with!!

One thing I am currently struggleing w/ is my use of Access for a mission critical system. the Front end continues to be Access 2000's ADE's (adp). One of the biggest reasons is because I can provide the end user w/ reporting all from one package. An obvious move to a dotNet platform would be that I can leverage the use of another college to work on the project w/ me, where as right now he really does not touch Access much. The thing he is mostly scared of is the form corruptions that can result from a bad network connection. So if I were to go dotNET what reporting options would I have in a "disconnected" state... right now I am leverging the use of Reporting systems for "networked" users. -- -Francisco http://pcthis.blogspot.com |PC news with out the jargon! http://sqlthis.blogspot.com | Tsql and More... _______________________________________________ dba-VB mailing list dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb http://www.databaseadvisors.com *********************************************************************************** "This electronic message is intended to be for the use only of the named recipient, and may contain information from Hudson Health Plan (HHP) that is confidential or privileged.
