Help! Creating Reports Using Multiple Tables

Could someone explain clearly how to go about doing this? I have
tried setting up the structure on numerous occasions, but it never
seems to work. Could someone please help me out? Thanks!

If your report simply reports data from multiple tables, you first create a
query that joins the tables and then include the fields you need in the report.
Set the recordsource for the report to this query. If your report reports on
data that is in a one-to-many relationship such as Customers/Orders or
Invoice/Line Items you need to use a report and a subreport. Your main report is
based on the table on the one side or a query based on that table. Your
subreport is similarly based on the table on the many side or a query based on
that table. You create both reports separately. You then click and drag the
subreport to the details section of the main report and finally set the Link
Master and LinkChild properties of the subreport control to the primary
key/foreign key of the relationship.

You'll probably want to create a query first. The query should include
fields from the set of tables you want to include in your report. Then
use the query as the record source for your report.

Post back if you need more help.

Is there a way to get help the way you get it from the Python interpreter (eg, 'help(dir)' gives help on the 'dir' command) in the module cmd.Cmd? I know how to add commands and help text to cmd.Cmd but I would also like to get the man-page-like help for classes and functions. Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks. Sarir

I have just had to upgrade to Access 2003 as Access 97 EMail (SendObject) doesn't work when loaded on Windows XP. I'm finding my way around Access 2003 but my biggest problem is getting information. When I bought Access 1.0 many years ago, I got a paper manual and an excellent help file with all you needed to know. With Access 97 the manual came as a 'Building Applications' document on the CD and I still had the excellent help. With Access...

I recently started using Access 2003 for the first time. I wanted to pass on some comments about the Help system to Access MVPs who frequent this board. I'm doing this in the hope that some of what I say may be passed on to Microsoft. Microsoft has implemented a combination local and web based help system in Access 2003. The local Help installed on your hard drive is fast, but the content is abbreviated. For really useful help you have...
