Using the Report Wizard

Like other wizards, the Report Wizard walks you step-by-step through the process of creating a report. Unlike Forms, which are designed for onscreen data entry, Reports are designed for print.

To create a report using the report wizard:

1. In the Reports window, double-click Create report by using wizard.
2. Click the Tables/Queries drop-down arrow. Select the table or query to base your report on.
3. Add the field or fields that you want to include in your report. Click Next to go to the next step.
4. Add grouping levels if necessary. Use a grouping level to organize the data into subgroups by the value of a specific field. Click Next.
5. Next, specify how you want the data sorted. Click Next.
6. Select the report layout. Click Next.
7. Select the graphic style for your report. Click Next.
8. Give your report a meaningful title.
9. Choose whether to view the report or modify its design.
10. Click Finish.

You can create a report that has fields from more than one table or query.

To open the Report Wizard:

1. Click the New button. Click Report Wizard. Click OK.
2. Select Report from the Insert menu. Click Report Wizard. Click OK.
3. Click the New Object toolbar button arrow. Select Report. Click Report Wizard, and click OK.
