When most people talk about 'Access reports', they are refering to making the reports from within Access. In that case, no, because Access and DBI are both mutually exclusive database clients. (well, Access also has an MS Jet Database built into it, but I think of them as two seperate parts)

If, however, you want to make reports in Access from something which is being edited via DBI, you may be able to -- but it's a function of the database, and mostly unrelated to DBI.

If your database supports ODBC, you can set up a DSN with your connection info, and point to that. (there are probably ways to handle it without a DSN, but I like the encapsulation). You'll want to search some of the MS Access websites on how to do it. I haven't had to do this in ~5-6 years, so it's possible that anything I've remembered is wrong, or has since changed.
