Working With Microsoft Access Reports

Call MS Access Solutions at (323) 285-0939 for your FREE consultation.

Using Snap To Grid

The Snap to Grid feature is a toggle found on the Arrange tab. When you select Snap to Grid, all objects that you're moving or sizing snap to the report's gridlines. To temporarily disable the Snap to Grid feature, hold down your Ctrl key while sizing or moving an object.

Using Power-Sizing Techniques

Access offers many techniques to help you size report objects. A selected object has eight sizing handles, and you can use all of them, except for the upper-left handle, to size the object. Using the upper-left handle moves the object independently of an object it is attached to (that is, it moves an attached label independently of the text box it is attached to). Simply click and drag one of the sizing handles. If you select multiple objects, Access sizes them by the same amount.

The tools found in the Size group on the Arrange tab can also help you size objects. The Size group has six options: To Fit, To Grid, To Tallest, To Shortest, To Widest, and To Narrowest. These options are discussed in detail in Chapter 5.

Controlling Object Spacing

Access also makes it easy for you to control object spacing. You can make both the horizontal and vertical distances between selected objects equal. Select the objects, click to select the Arrange tab, and then use the appropriate tool in the Position group to achieve the desired effect. You can also maintain the relative relationship between selected objects while increasing or decreasing the space between them. Once again, to do this, use the appropriate tool in the Position group.

Selecting The Correct Control for The Job

Reports usually contain labels, text boxes, lines, rectangles, image controls, and bound and unbound object frames. You use the other controls for reports that emulate data entry forms. The different controls you can place on a report, as well as their uses, are discussed briefly in the following sections.

Labels

You use labels to display information to your users. They're commonly used as report headings, column headings, or group headings for your report. Although you can modify the text they display at runtime by using VBA code, you can't directly bind them to data. To add a label to a report, select the Label tool on the ribbon; then click and drag to place the label on the report.

Text Boxes

You use text boxes to display field information or the result of an expression. Text boxes are used throughout a report's different sections. For example, in a Page Header, a text box might contain an expression showing the date range that's the criterion for the report. In a Group Header, a text box might be used to display a heading for the group. The possibilities are endless because a text box can hold any valid expression.

To add a text box to a report, select the Text Box tool from the ribbon. Click and drag the text box to place it on the report. You can also add a text box to a report by dragging a field from the field list to a report. This works as long as the field's Display control property is a text box.
