You can access a *.MDB file with DAO, RDO, ADO, DAODC(Data1), ADODC(Data1), RDODC(ODBCData1), or DAO ODBC Direct. However, I suggest you use ADO and the data form wizard (search for it under add-ins>add-in manager). Use the wizard and choose the code option. As for needing queries, yes you will need them but not contained by the access file. To access the data you will pass your sql string to the jet libraries via one of the data access methods mentioned above. As for a report, that depends upon your requirements. VB comes with CR4.5 (Crystal Reports) but you will have to find it on the disk to install it. Good Luck
