Does Microsoft interface with Chrystal?

[pdbowling]

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if one could launch a chrystal report file from Excel or Access with some sort of connection command given the path the the file. The obvious example, launching an Excel workbook from Access. That's easy. If it's a big chore, a link to info would be great as well.


Additional info if it's important.

The Chrystal report is interfacing with Maximo (an Oracle GUI). I already know I can query data from Maximo.

The Chrstal Report will be used as a Work Order. The proprietary work order that came with Maximo was not 'acceptable' to our associates so we had to make a new one.

Thanks
PB

Hmm

Would the ActiveX be included in normal Chrystal Distributions or do I need to find it somewhere? Thanks
