Exploring Reports
You can display the information recorded in your tables in nicely formatted, easily accessible
reports, either on your computer screen or on paper. A report can include items of informa-
tion selected from multiple tables and queries, values calculated from information in the
database, and formatting elements such as headers, footers, titles, and headings.
You can look at reports in four views:
● Report view In this view, you can scroll through the information in the report without
being distracted by the page breaks that will be inserted when it is printed.
● Print Preview In this view, you see your report exactly as it will look when printed.
● Layout view This view displays the data in the report (similar to Print Preview) but
enables you to edit the layout.
● Design view In this view, you can manipulate the design of a report in the same
way that you manipulate a form.
