Thanks Eric. By the way, the reference to "relucatant" in my post was having to use Access 97 as the DB for this project.

>>I'm (reluctantly) working on an VB6 app that uses an Access 97 (ugh - not my choice) database. Can I develop some reports in Access 97 - and run these reports from VB6 (assuming, of course, that the user has the Access runtime on their P.C.)?
