ActiveX reports using MS Access

I am using LV 5.1.1 on a Win 9x platform. I am trying to use LV's Active X
technologies to pull reports from MS Access. I am approaching this from two
perspectives.

The first, the target machine will have a typical Win 9x installation
scenario, a LV run-time engine installed, a LV application to gather/process
and send data via SQL installed, and an *.exe application generated from
MS-Access installed. The MS-Access *.exe is designed to contain the data
generated by labview and generate reports.

The second, is the same as the first except that instead of the MS-Access
*.exe being installed a full version of Access 97 or higher will be
installed and work with an *.mdb file to contain data and generate reports.

I have b
een following the Word and Excel ActiveX examples on the NI EPD and
am running into the following problem. I am trying to call a specific MS
Access report and this seems to require to first call Access, then call the
reports part of Access, and then call the specific report. I am having
difficulty with the last two steps because they seem to deviate from the
Word and Excel approach. Does anyone have any ideas?

Also does anyone have experience with the first scenario described above and
know which *.ocx and support files that must be installed with the MS-Access
*.exe to allow for Active X communication with a LV-based application?

Thanks,

Don
