Default How do I link a form to a report?

I have a form and a report, I want to link the form to the report so when the
data in form is the same as the report. I am using the report for printing

The data for both should be in tables, so the recordsource (link to) a
report or form would be the table or a query based on the table(s) that have
the data. See form and/or report record source properties, and make them
the same.

Data is not stored in forms.
Data is not stored in reports either.
Data is stored in tables, and only in tables!

Base the Report on a Query selecting the desired data from the appropriate
table or tables. Use a reference to an appropriate control on the Form as a
criterion to limit the report to the one record currently displayed on the
form.
