Adding fields in report view

[austenr]

I am really new to ACCESS and trying to figure it out as I go. Here is my question:

After you open the report tab and choose design view how do you add the fileds to the report. Sorry but am a newbie to ACCESS. Thanks in advance for your help. BTW, a visual aid works best for me.

Once you've opened the new report, goto view >>> properties. The first in the properties list is 'Record Source', here you have to select the table or query you want the report based on. Once selected the 'Field List' should automatically appear, if not, goto view >>> Field List. All you need to do now is drag and drop the fields onto the report.

i found that ok but how do you align the fields so they print nice. I noticed that after dragging and dropping that they are in various places. In other words how do you clean it up?

Click on each control and drag it to the required position.
