Web front end for Access reports

[IT]

Does anyone know of any package that can be used to distribute Access
reports over the web?

We are looking to enable users to use their browser to dynamically run
our Access reports through an intranet/extranet. The Access database
would reside on our server and users would only need a browser.

It should be able to capture parameters and send them through to the
report for viewing in the browser.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

To get Data that is contained in a report inside an MS Access file on the
web server through web app is easy, but to actually get the report is not
that simple and it is generally not recommended, because the report is part
of MS Access application, you must launch MS Access on the server in order
to get the report (on the other side, if you only need data, as most web
app, you do not need MS Access installed on the server and do not need to
start it. The data is accessed via Jet engine). It is definitely not
recommended to automation MS Access on an unattended server. So, you need
use other report tool (Crystal Report, ActiceReport....) or design
print-friendly web page so that user can print directly from HTML page.
