Replacement of RDC for MS Access application with VBA and use of SDK

[Former Member]

We have an MS Access application (VBA) being used to run Crystal reports. This app will not work on a Windows 7 machine with Access 2010 and Crystal 2008. Apparently the RDC component (craxddrt.dll) has been deprecated. I understand the RDC has been replaced with the SDK. Does anyone know if this will work with VBA?

I am fairly sure that the .Net SDK files are COM-visible so that they could be referenced by a VBA app. What Iu2019m not sure of is SAPs stance on supporting COM-based calls to the SDK?

- Nope. There are only two SDKs shipping with CR 2008 and later; .NET and Java

I am fairly sure that the .Net SDK files are COM-visible so that they could be referenced by a VBA app...

- Perhaps. However, not supported. See the supported platforms documentation;
