Access reports in design mode

There are several ways to create an Access report, the temptation is to use one of the automated options but in my experience that may be unwise. The wizard often creates a report with truncated text and field boxes, you will have go into design to fix this issue.

Using report design as your first option enables you to get a better understanding on how reports in Microsoft Access work. You first attach the table or query required then add the grouping options if any. You can start to add your fields and position them as required. It may take a little bit longer to finish but once you have, the end product will be far better.
