Chapter 7: Creating Reports

 

The Reports item allows you to create reports for use in your project.

 

The Design Window for a report contains five views: Design, Code, Record Source, Datasheet, and SQL. In the Design View you can add and customize components and perform other design tasks. In the Code View you can input Java code for use in the report. In the Record Source View you can create queries for use in the report. In the Datasheet View you can view the data on which the report will be based. In the SQL View you can view the SQL in your report.
