Hello,
   Has anyone done this before? or in other words, is this possible at all?

In a VC++ application there are certain inputs which are entered in intervals of time, not necessarily constant intervals, and for each input, some data is generated and stored in a access database. As soon as the data is stored and before another input is given to the application, a crystal report based off the data in the access database needs to be kicked off. When the next input is given, the data is overwritten and a new report would need to be kicked in a similar fashion.

Not the right forum to be asked, but wanted to see if anyone came across such an issue.

Thanks.

Yes, you can do this but either your VC++ application will have to kick off the report or you'll have to have another application that polls the database on a regular basis and kicks off the report if new data is found.
 
I'm not sure which SDK you'll need to use with VC++ - I do all my work in .NET, but that won't work for your situation.  If Brian doesn't have an answer for this, you can check in the Developer Library on the Business Objects website. (I don't have the link for that on this computer, so I'll try to post it later....)

I'm not a VC++ guy, so I can't say either.
