Report’s Design View
Figure 4-16: Report Design View.
________________________________________
1. Once you are in the Design View of the report you can always go back
to the Run view by clicking the “View” command on the ribbon as shown in
Figure 4-16 with label 1.
2. The ‘Report Header’ as shown in Figure 4-17 with label 2, contains
the title of the report or anything you would like to shown on the
report header.
3. Under report header we have ‘Page Header’. Anything that goes in this
block will get repeated as a header/title on each page.
4. Details block contains the data fields of a table/query. In the Run
time view, this will represent the records of the table/query.
5. ‘Page Footer’ as shown in Figure 4-17 with label 5, as the name says
contains the information that appears on the bottom of very page of your
report.
6. The ‘Field List’ window as shown in Figure 4-18 with label 6,
contains the data source field names. If you would like to add more
fields to your report simple drag them from this window and drop it on
your report where you want them to appear.
As a beginner whenever you make some change in your report in the design
time, make sure the run-time view is reflecting the same change. MS
Access is very user friendly and many things you can learn and master as
we play more with this wonderful tool.
