the SELECT statement), not just the columns that are displayed in the report.

Importing XML Data.”

You can print the data displayed in the Preview view. Before printing, you can
preview the output on the screen. Your computer must have a default printer
specified, otherwise properties handled by the printer driver, such as page
orientation, are ignored.
❖ To preview printed output before printing:
• Be sure the Preview view is selected (current) and then select File>Print
Preview from the menu bar.
Print Preview displays the report as it will print.
