Creating One-to-Many Reports

You can create one-to-many reports by using a Report Wizard, or you can build reports from scratch. Different situations require different techniques, some of which are covered in the following sections.

Building A One-to-Many Report With The Report Wizard

Building a one-to-many report with the Report Wizard is quite easy; just follow these steps:

  1. Click to select the Create tab and then select the Report Wizard tool in the Reports group. The Report Wizard launches.
  2. Use the Tables/Queries drop-down list to select the first table or query whose data will appear on the report.
  3. Select the fields you want to include from that table.
  4. Select each additional table or query you want to include on the report, selecting the fields you need from each. Click Next.
  5. Step 2 of the Report Wizard offers a suggested layout for your data. You can accept Access's suggestion, or you can choose from any of the available layout options. After you choose a layout, click Next.
  6. Step 3 of the Report Wizard asks whether you want to add any grouping levels. Grouping levels can be used to visually separate data and to provide subtotals. The report is grouped by ContactType. After you select grouping levels, click Next.
  7. Step 4 of the Report Wizard lets you select how you want the records in the report's Detail section to be sorted (see Figure 6.18). This step of the wizard also allows you to specify any summary calculations you want to perform on the data. Click the Summary Options button to specify the summary c alculations. Using the button, you can even opt to include the percent of total calculations. Make your selection and click OK to close the Summary Options dialog.
  8. In step 5 of the Report Wizard, you select the layout and orientation of your report. Layout options include Stepped, Blocked, Outline 1, Outline 2, Align Left 1, and Align Left 2. Click Next to continue.
  9. Step 6 of the Report Wizard lets you select from predefined styles for your report. You can preview each style to see what it looks like. Click Next to continue.
  10. In step 7 of the Report Wizard, you select a title for your report. The title also becomes the name for the report. I like to select an appropriate name and change the title after the wizard is finished. The final step also allows you to determine whether you want to immediately preview the report or to see the report's design first. Click Finish after making your selection.

The report created in the preceding example is shown in Figure 6.20. Notice that the report is sorted and grouped by ContactType and CompanyName. The report's data is in order by ProjectName within a CompanyName grouping.

This method of creating a one-to-many report is by far the easiest. In fact, the "background join" technology that the wizards use when they allow you to pick fields from multiple tables—figuring out how to build the complex queries needed for the report or form—is one of Access's strong points. It's a huge timesaver and helps hide unnecessary complexity from you as you build a report. Although you should take advantage of this feature, it's important that, as a developer, you know what's happening under the covers. The following two sections give you this necessary knowledge.
