I have infused PDF forms from within .Net many times over but now I have a client that needs to perfrom this from the click of a button on an Access form. What OCX or Adobe product will allow instantiation from VBA and allow data manipulation of the form fields and view/save the result? I believe the client is using Office 2003 and PDF forms designed with the Adobe LifeCycle product.

Thanks for any help.

OLEDB is the only database connection that you can connect to from LiveCycle Designer. Through the use of the Microsoft OLEDB Provider for ODBC Drivers, you can also access databases identified by the ODBC data source name (DSN). You can use OLE drivers other than the Microsoft OLEDB Provider for ODBC, however the form must be certified in Acrobat before it will function at run time.

There are examples of working with PDF forms from LiveCycle and data sources and schemas available at:
