Beginning a Report in Design View

Now you'll use this query as the basis for a new report that you'll design from scratch:

1.	In the Database window, select qryAdministration and choose Insert-Report.
2.	With Design View chosen, click OK. The query field list should be in view; if not, choose View, Field List (or peek ahead to Figure 10.1 to locate the Field List button on the toolbar). If a property sheet is open, close it.
3.	Choose View, Page Header/Footer to get rid of these two sections.
4.	Choose File, Save. Save the report as rptAdministration.

TIP

Architects have to worry that the buildings they design will look as good in concrete as they do on paper. Access users don't have that problem. You can click the View button again and again to see what effects your work in Design view is having on your report. You can also print a page.
