This is the final course in a series of six that helps you learn Access from the ground up by creating an asset-tracking database. Previous courses in this series showed you how to plan and build tables and relationships, and how to create queries and forms. Now it's time to give your data meaning and put it to use in a report.
Why reports? Because they present complex data in a way that others can understand quickly and easily. For example, you can see what you spent on computers last year, with just a glance. A well designed report can let you see what's going right and what's going wrong, and help you make better decisions for your business — even if you're just managing the furniture in your house.
This course explains the basics of reports, and shows you how to create several different types. If you've taken the other courses in this series, then congratulations: You're about to complete the series! And yes, this course builds on the others while assuming you're a beginner.
