How to enumerate MS Access reports in windows dot net application.

I have a listbox that should show the available reports in a MS Access db. Tried following code, but it did not show anything.

oAccess = GetAccessDBObject(DBLocation);                              
Reports accessReports = oAccess.Reports; // oAccess.Reports.Count = 0!!! No data comes out here!!!

How do I iterate ms-access reports in .net?

Answer 1

I tried this example in C# and it works:

        Access.Application oAccess = new Access.Application();
        oAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase(@"D:\tmp\dbtest.mdb", false, "");
        Access.AllObjects reports = oAccess.CurrentProject.AllReports;
        Console.WriteLine(reports.Count);
        foreach (Access.AccessObject report in reports)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(report.Name);
        }

(you have to add a reference to Microsoft Access Object Library to your project, of course.)
