powerBI reports embedded in access forms (using the Web Browser tool)

[Syndicate_Admin]

Help please: I'm trying to embed a Power BI report into an Access form using the WebBrowser and ActiveX commands, but the URLs generated in the PowerBi only work in browsers, not the form; this only one attempt to access the PowerBI site appears but does not display the report.

Note: I am working with the trial version of Power BI Pro and in Windows 11, I also tried it in Windows 10 Home Single and in Windows server 2019 with the same results.

What will I be doing wrong, or what additional configuration is required?:

Who can help me, in advance, Thank you.

Thank you for the reply Mr. jianbo li. I understand the proposal, I will study it and I certainly value it as correct; but in my case it is a simple desktop application developed in VBA Access and I know from videos on the internet (pej: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evzahD3l_Sk&list=PLOun5pnkji3iSJpTRgTEUjDVAquqTi4kl&index=7 minute from: 56:40 to: 58:15) that you can embed PowerBI reports directly in the forms with the native Access tool called "Web Browser Control", or with the "Microsoft Web Browser" of the ActiveX controls of the same application. It's these tools that aren't working with PowerBI URLs.

Question: Will the answer procedure (which apparently is for Web applications) apply to desktop developments as well? If so, I will study it and follow it in detail because it seems to have its advantages (although it will certainly take me a long time to achieve it).

Again, thank you and a cordial greeting.
