Report’s Run View

1. After performing step 7, you would be able to see the output of your report. In other words its called the Run-Time view of the MS Access Report. You can go back to the Design View by clicking the icon on the tool bar as shown in the screenshot above.

I guess now you can realize the difference between the output of the query and the output of the report or more precisely the purpose of query and the purpose of report. The difference lies in the formatting part. A query’s output would just be data extracted from different tables or queries where as a report’s output would be the formatted information with data source as already existing tables in MS Access or queries.
