CHAPTER 7
Working with Controls in Reports
About this chapter
One of the ways you can enhance a report is to add controls, such as
columns, drawing objects, buttons, and computed fields. You can also
change the layout of the report by reorganizing, positioning, and rotating
controls. This chapter shows you how.

Adding controls to a report
This section describes adding controls to enhance your report.
Adding columns to a report
You can add columns that are included in the data source to a report. When
you first create a report, each of the columns in the data source is
automatically placed in the report. Typically, you would add a column to
restore one that you had deleted from the report, or to display the column
more than once in the report.
Adding columns not previously retrieved to the data source
To specify that you want to retrieve a column not previously retrieved
(that is, add a column to the data source), you must modify the data source.
See “Modifying the data source of a report” on page 228.
