Can MS-Access Report be used with ASP?

I Have posted this before but no answer.

The report objects inside Access can not be used with ASP natively. I am
sure there are tools that export the Access reports as ASP pages, which then
can be used on the web.

Not directly. You can use it to create a web page report, but you
can't run it from an ASP page to generate information dynamically.

Try using activereports or crystalreports.

ActiveReports uses a very similar user interface to the Access reporting...was pretty simple to figure out -

Look at Microsoft's Snapshot Viewer component, available at
http://www.microsoft.com/AccessDev/ProdInfo/snapdl.htm

IIRC the Snapshot Viewer package consists several pieces: one that
installs as part of Access and enables creation of .SNP format files and
a separate ActiveX component that is specific to Internet Explorer
browser and can display Access reports.

To use the Snapshot Viewer you
- export reports from Access to a .SNP format,
- put the .SNP files on the website, and
- link to the files and to the Snapshot Viewer on a web page.

The Snapshot Viewer component is downloaded by IE the first time it's used.

Here are some articles on it's use:
