Examining a Report

Access usually presents your tables and query results in datasheets that display your data in a compact but not very easy-to-read format. You can make your data easier to read by displaying it in forms, but forms only display one record at a time. Reports, by contrast, can show more than one record on the same page. A report also enables you to sort and group the records it displays to show all products in a given category before moving on to the products in the next category.
