Reports
Once you have
entered records or drawn particular data using a query, it often
becomes necessary to give others a printed copy of that information.
For example, a department store may want a list of transactions
organized by individual departments to analyze sales. Perhaps a
person needs a list of their appointments for a particular day to
organize themselves. These can be accomplished by creating a REPORT,
which can organize and even summarize your information.
Clicking on
the New Object button will allow you to create a report using the
Report Wizard. (NOTE: Creating an AutoReport will create a report
that simply lists the records in a column with no formatting.)
