THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM

Reports provide a way to archive your Access data for posterityor at least until the paper turns to dust! In this chapter, you learned the basics of working with reports :

• You can create a report using the AutoReport facility, the Report Wizard, or design view.

• The Report Wizard offers you a flexible way to create a report based on a single table, a query, or multiple tables.

• Print preview view lets you experiment with layout options and see reports onscreen without wasting paper.

• When your report is ready to print, Access offers multiple options for sending it to the printer.
