To use the Data Report, you need an ADO data source and Access is a valid provider to work with ADO.

There is a couple of ways to open an ADO connection:

1- You can use the Data Environment to create a Connection to your database and then you create commands that will retrieve fields for your report. This way you will be able to drag & drop fields from the Data Environment to your data report. Easy no?

2- You can also programmatically open a connection and set a recordset to the report DataSource property like this:
Set DataReport1.DataSource = rsYourValidRecordset

There is still some bugs with the DataReport (like you will hardly be able to print landscape).
