Report Editor

The Report Editor enables you to create highly customized reports. You can use the Report Editor to modify reports that you create in the Report Wizard and to create new reports. If you modify a wizard report in the Report Editor, when you reopen the report in the wizard, you lose all of the modifications made in the Report Editor.

Use the Report Editor window to add, edit, and organize report components and to customize the look of a report by specifying font styles, and adding images, headers and footers, and comments. The main report components you can work with are data sources, rows, and cells. The Report Editor window includes a toolbar and right-click menus that enable you to easily add and customize report components.
