VB .Net & Creating Reports

[Ron]

I have VB .Net 2003 and I would like to create reports or a word document
that can be viewed or printed. I do not have VS. Is it possible to use
Access Reports or download a plug-in to VB or export to word that I can use?

Please help.

Thanks,

Ron

You can use Com Interop and the Word library and write directly to word
provided it's installed on the client machine.

I like this little app. But how do I figure out the BuildReport and
BuildTable stuff. Is their a way to create it graphically and save it to
that syntax?

Well, when do it the HTML way is easy enough. The RTF way is more
complicated, syntax specs can be downloaded from MS but the way I did is
was:
- create my report in Word and save to RTF.
- open RTF file in Notepad to view syntax
- use syntax in app replacing values typed in the original word doc with
values or variables required for the app
