After storing and manipulating all your data, you might want to print hard copies so you can share the information in a meaningful way with other people. Or, you just might prefer to view your data on paper instead of onscreen. Fortunately, Access provides one of the most flexible and easy-to-use report managers around.

In Chapter 9, "Printing Information with Reports," you learned how to use a few report wizards, but they won't always be adequate.
