I can not find any reference for accessing the structure of reports, forms, and macros in the FAQ or other documentation.
As far as I can figure MSysObjects has a record for Reports (which I am most interested in), which is ID=-217483645. There are numerous reports with that as its ParentId. I suspect there is data in MSysAccessObjects, but it is binary data that I have no idea how to interpret. The ID fields do not match any other records I have seen. The trail runs cold there.
I am hoping to find a way of reading in the structure of reports to do a rough conversion to a JasperReports .jrxml file. I have done many by hand, copying field by field, which is slow and painful. Even an approximate conversion would be helpful.
Let me know if anyone knows how to interpret any of that data.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
every once in a while i've poked at those, but never gotten very far. and i've never come across any other information online which explains them at all, unfortunately.

Thanks for the update. It makes sense that if it wasn't already in Jackcess, it probably wasn't an easy thing to figure out.
