Is it Possible to control the forms created from MS Access in VB6

The only way to use Access forms and reports from VB would be through
Automation (which means that Access would have to be installed on the
desktop). I think it would be far more efficient simply to run the Access
front-end in Access.
 
Need Help, Anyone

I am new user in vb6 and I'm trying to develope an application in vb6. I'm
use ms access as a backend and vb6 as a frontend. I have already created a
ms access database with tables, queries, forms and reports. and I wanted to
control them in vb6.


Could please anyone help me.

thanks

That's a rather strange set-up you are attempting.

Usually, the VB programmers develop user intefaces using VB Forms rather
than Access Forms and simply use a JET MDB file (small distinction from
Access MBD file) to store data.

This way, the VB application doesn't need Access software to be installed on
the target machines.
