Using AutoReports

Use AutoReport to quickly create a report including all the fields in a table or query. AutoReport produces a plain report. For an AutoReport with more style, select AutoReport: Columnar or AutoReport: Tabular from the New Report dialog.

To create an AutoReport:

1. In the Query or Table window, select the query or table upon which you want to base the report.
2. Click the New Object arrow. Select AutoReport.
3. The AutoReport appears on screen.
4. To close the report, click the Close box in the upper right corner of the report window.
5. The Save As dialog appears, prompting you to enter a name for the report.
6. Give the report a meaningful name. Click OK.

To create a new AutoReport with the AutoReport: Columnar or AutoReport: Tabular Wizard:

1. In the Query or Table window, select the query or table upon which you want to base the report.
2. Click the New Object arrow. Select Report.
3. From the New Report dialog, select AutoReport: Tabular or AutoReport: Columnar.
4. Click OK.
5. The new AutoReport appears on screen.

You can create an AutoReport: Tabular or AutoReport: Columnar without selecting a table or query first:

1. Open the New Report dialog:
   1. Click the New Object arrow. Select Report.
   2. Click the New button in the Reports window.
   3. Select Report from the Insert menu.
2. Select AutoReport: Tabular or AutoReport: Columnar.
3. Select the table or query from the drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog.
4. Click OK to create the AutoReport.
