Part II Writing VBA Code to Exchange Data between Office Components
Report Layout View
Access 2007 reports have a new view selection, Layout View. Access 2003
had Print Preview, Layout Preview (read-only, no data), and Design View,
and you could only modify the report’s layout, filtering, or sorting in Design view. In
Access 2007, the new Layout view replaces Layout Preview, and there is a new Report
view in addition to Print Preview. The following figure shows the View selector on the
Access report Ribbon.

The new Layout view for Access reports has much more functionality than the old Layout Preview,
letting users sort and filter from a right-click menu, as shown in the next screenshot, and even resize
report columns while looking at the data (a long-requested feature).
