Creating a Report Using the Report Tool
A report is a database object that displays data from one or more tables or queries in a format that has an appearance similar to a printed report. You can use reports to:– Create a formatted list of information– Summarize information– Print form letters and mailing labels
The tables or queries that contain the data used in a report are called the record source.

When the Report tool creates a report, the report opens initially in Layout view where you can: – View the controls in the report and data from the
record source at the same time. – Make changes to the report's format and
appearance. Report data is read-only, which means that
you can view it but you cannot change it.
