Working with the Microsoft Access Add-In

Installing the Seagate Crystal Report Wizard

The Microsoft Access Add-In may need to be installed through the Access Add-In Manager before you can use it. If you installed Access after Seagate Crystal Reports, refer to the following procedure. If, however, you installed Access before Seagate Crystal Reports, the Add-In is installed automatically.

Note:    If the Access Add-In is automatically installed and you choose to remove it, you must install it manually (using the following procedure) and then use the Microsoft Add-In Manager to uninstall it.

Once the Seagate Crystal Report Wizard is added to Access, you can select it anytime you use Access.

To install the Seagate Crystal Report Wizard

1. On the Tools menu in Access, point to Add-Ins and then click Add-In Manager.

   The Add-Ins option is available only after a database has been opened in Access.

2. In the Add-In Manager dialog box, click Add New.
3. Search for the file Crptaccwz2k.mde(or Crptaccwz97.mde if you are using Microsoft Access 97) in the Open dialog box.

   Crptaccwz2k.mde is installed in the \Program Files\Seagate Software\Report Designer Component directory by default. The file may have been moved to another directory by a system administrator.

4. After choosing Crptaccwz2k.mde, click Open.

   Crystal Report Access Wizard is added to the available Add-Ins list in the Add-In Manager dialog box.

   

5. Click Close.

After installation, the Access Add-In is available from the Tools menu (the Add-Ins submenu), or from within the database dialog box.
