The Access Report Wizard can be used to create a basic report by gathering relevant records from related data tables and formatting them based on a couple of preferences. The finished report likely requires some additional design finesse to be fully usable, but the wizard provides a quick start.
- [Instructor] In the CheckInDetails report…that we just created,…Access placed a single line…for each record that was coming out of the original query.…It's currently sorted chronologically…based off of the CheckInDate,…which is a logical way to store this information,…but it's not the only way.…What if I wanted to see all the details for each guest?…For instance, I wanted to see Anna Cunningham,…followed by all of her CheckIn details,…and then Carl Garza and all of his.…We can get more control over the layout of our report…by allowing the Report Wizard…to walk us through the process…of collecting and organizing our data.…So let's create another report…based off of the CheckInDetails query,…but this time we'll make use of the Wizard.…
Now we're actually going to overwrite…this CheckInDetails report that we just created,…so let's go ahead and make sure that it's closed.…Then, we'll come out to the Create tab,…and in the Reports group, click on Report Wizard.…Now we've seen this interface several times now.…The first step of creating the report…
