Howto set Access Recordsource onto a "select" sproc

[Radu]

Hi. I have lots of processing to do on the server - from the client
(Access) I call a sproc which returns a recordset (the sproc is
essentially a big "select"). With the obtained data , I need to
generate a report. How do I set the Recordsource of the report to the
result of the select sproc ?

I have tried the following, but it does not work.

Private Sub cmdReport_Click ()

On Error GoTo cmdReport_Click Error

Dim objCmd As ADODB.Command
Dim intOpenObjects As Integer
Dim rsTemp As ADODB.Recordset

Set objCmd = New ADODB.Command
intOpenObjects = 1

objCmd.ActiveCo nnection = m_objConn
objCmd.CommandT ype = adCmdStoredProc
objCmd.CommandT ext = "_TestRepor t"

Set rsTemp = objCmd.Execute
intOpenObjects = 2

Dim rpt As Report
DoCmd.OpenRepor t "TestReport ", acViewDesign
Set rpt = Reports("TestRe port")
Set rpt.RecordSourc e = rsTemp
DoCmd.Close acReport, "TestReport ", acSaveYes
Set rpt = Nothing
DoCmd.OpenRepor t "TestReport ", acViewPreview

DoCmd.OpenRepor t "TestReport ", acViewPreview
DoCmd.SelectObj ect acReport, "TestReport "
DoCmd.Maximize

cmdReport_Click Exit:
If intOpenObjects = 2 Then
rsTemp.Close
Set rsTemp = Nothing
intOpenObjects = 1
End If
If intOpenObjects = 1 Then
Set objCmd = Nothing
intOpenObjects = 0
End If

Exit Sub

cmdReport_Click Error:
MsgBox Err.Description , vbCritical, Me.Name
Resume cmdReport_Click Exit
End Sub

How can I do that, please ? Would it maybe be better to change the
"Select" sproc into an Insert sproc, as in "SELECT... INTO TEMP", in
order to create a temp table on the server, then in Access link to that
table and set the recordsource onto the linked table ?

Please help. Thank you very much, Alex.

Re: Howto set Access Recordsource onto a "select&qu ot; sproc

You'll probably get a better response in one of the
microsoft.publi c.access.* groups - how to present data in an Access
report isn't really an MSSQL question.

Look at pass-through queries in Access; they'll run the stored
procedure on SQL Server. However, you'll have to use VBA to modify the
paramaters (by actually modifiying the text of the pass-through query).

Re: Howto set Access Recordsource onto a "select&qu ot; sproc

If you are using a data project (ADP), you simply name the recordsource
the name of the stored procedure, either hard coded in the report
designer or in code at runtime.

If you are using an MDB, Stu's suggestion of pass-through query objects
is the usual method.
