Reports and Report Design
Technically, a
database designer should begin with the Reports, first. Reports printout the answers. Often, an entire database may be designed to fill
in the information for a particular government report. The Front Row Video
database needs to print customer reports: a receipt or statement of
accounts. Our mighty Access database also has to print business reports. We'll begin
with a simple report first: a list of all the movies in the Front Row
Video collection.
This lesson
will use the Report Wizard to create a Report based on the Movie Table. This lesson uses the sample Front Row Video database.
You can continue with the database you have been programming. You
can also download the sample Access database if you wish.
