Report’s Design View

1. Once you are in the Design View of the report you can always go back to the run view by click this icon as shown in the screenshot above with a label as 1.

2. The ‘Report Header’ 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 for each record.

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 the name says contains the information that you would like to shown on the bottom of very page of your report.

6. This window 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.
