Part 7. Creating Reports

There will almost certainly be times when you want to create a summary of data in your Access database in a printed format, called a report. For example, you might include a report in a sales presentation, or as part of your company's annual report. Alternatively, you might create a report to generate a simple list of clients and their phone numbers . Access provides many features for creating reports, from simple reports that list data, to complex reports that can sort , perform calculations, and group data.

Access also provides several methods for creating a report: creating an AutoReport, using a wizard, and building one from scratch. This part covers how to create a report using an AutoReport and wizard, how to make changes to the report's design, and how to preview and print the report.
