Creating the Initial Report Layout

After you have prepared a memo file, you are ready to create the initial report layout for the form letter report.

Follow these steps to create a report definition:

  1. Start Report Builder.
  2. Connect the database that contains the data you want to use in the letter.
  3. Choose the New Report button. The Database Tables dialog box appears.
  4. Select the master table for the report, then choose OK. Report Builder prompts you to use the Instant Layout option.
  5. Choose Yes if you want to use the Instant Layout option or No to start with a blank report layout.
  6. Establish any database joins required to provide information used in the report.
