|  One of the features you can use to create a simple report in Access is the AutoReport Wizard , which arranges data in a selected table or query as a formatted report. The AutoReport: Columnar Wizard displays each record's data vertically, while the AutoReport: Tabular Wizard displays the data for each record horizontally. You can also create a report using the Report Wizard , which allows you to select the fields and information you want presented and to choose from available formatting options that determine how the report will look.
