Using this simple tabbed dialog, you can define and print each of the reports in your application. When you select a report, you can also select to print the report as a detail or summary report, select date ranges and enter report titles.

You can define up to five custom criteria for each report definition and link to your query using our example functions. You can select to use data entry selection or drop down combo box lists. You can also include an "<ALL>" value with our list of values.

This figure displays the Advanced Selection screen and the criteria items for a selected report.

Once you select and define the report using the date selections, detail/summary choice, optional titles, print destination and number of copies, you can save the definition. You can use the same report design over and over again with different selections and create a separate report definition for each.

This figure shows the same report used for daily, weekly, monthly, and year-to-date sales.

Once you create your report definitions you can save them in logical groups. You can define any number of groups and each group can have any number of reports. Report definitions can be used in more than one group.

You can print a report directly from the report selection screen, queue one or more saved report definitions, or queue one or more report groups. Once the reports are queued, you can print either individual reports or the entire list. Reports that use specific dates show up with a specific date range while reports that use dynamic dates show the dynamic date.

You can add your reports to the EZ Report Manager by using the Report List form, as shown below. You can enter the name and description of the report, the table or query used, and select a report category. You can decide whether to display date selection or detail selections. You can also define up to five different criteria.

How does all this work? In order for the EZ Report Manager to interface with your reports, you need to add some simple criteria to your queries. Parameter queries in Microsoft Access can reference a form's fields and this is one of the secrets of the EZ Report Manager.

Once you have added criteria to your queries, you can add up to four simple text box functions to your report to display the optional titles, any date selections and all the criteria you select in your report.

Voila! That's all there is to creating a report for use with the EZ Report Manager. Download a demo copy of the EZ Report Manager to try the product yourself, or order your copy today.
