Default Dynamically Add fields/controls to reports

Please post what your database is about and why you want to do what you
describe here. There are ways to crate a dynamic report you may be able to
use.

Hello,

I've not much experience with building reports in MsAccess. Can one
dynamicall add fields/controls to reports from a vba module such as that
linked to a form? i.e. do processing . . .set a sql string as a report's
recordsource, then have the fields of the recordsource added or displayed
in the report. I want to do this without having predefined the report
content/format, etc. Can someone give me information or point me to
information on this?

Part of my reason for persuing this data display method is that there
doesn't seem to be a grid control for displaying data on a form. So, how
about a report that is built dynamically; can I do that?

Thanks for any help,

Jim M.
