Is it posible to open and use MS Access forms from Visual Baic?

[stigejg]

Hello,

I have a MS Access database where a couple of colleagues have to update som data, and wishes to keep the number of Access-licences at a minimu.

Therefore I am woundering if it is posible to reach and and run a predefined MS Access-form from Visual Basic whitout too much programming?

If so, how?

I am grateful for all kind of tips.

Thanks in advance.

best regard

Stig

Not that I know of.. but then, I'm not a VB programmer.... but, from the one class that I've taken in VB, I don't think you can. You will need to recreate the form in VB.

Yes you can open a form within VB. I have been able to fully open Access from VB, as well as creating a container object to hold an Access object. Sorry I can't tell you directly how to do it, I am at work and I only have 10min left to my lunch. Look at the help files(VB), I'm sure you can find it in there.
