Using Sections in Design View

When Access displays a report or a form in Design view, it divides the report or form into sections, individual parts that control what elements appear and how they are formatted.

Design View Sections

Section

Description

Report Header

Text that appears at the top of the first page of a report, such as a title, company logo, or introduction.

Page Header

Text that appears at the top of each page of a report, such as page numbers or report date.

Group Header

Text that appears before each group of records, such as a vendor name .

Detail

Contains the main body of the report, the fields that display values.

Group Footer

Text that appears at the end of a group of records, such as totals.

Page Footer

Text that appears at the bottom of each page of a report, such as explanations of symbols or page numbers.

Report Footer

Text that appears at the end of the report, such as report totals or other summary information.


Each section has a selector , a box to the left of its heading, that you can click to select the section. Any formatting changes you make then affect just that section. Clicking the selector in the upper-left corner selects the entire report or form.

Header and footer sections come in pairs. Headers in a report display text at the top of each page or at the top of the report. Footers appear at the bottom of the page. Headers and footers can also appear at the start and end of records you have grouped together. As with other sections in a report, you can add controls to headers and footers that include text, expressions, page numbers, and date and time information.
