report library creates these labels. However, you should perform the tasks in this chapter to learn how to create them for yourself.To perform the tasks in this chapter, you must:
- Connect to the Newsport database.
- Know how to perform the tasks described in "Accounts Receivable Report," and Customer Address Report." If you have difficulty performing any task for creating the mailing labels, see "Accounts Receivable Report," or "Customer Address Report," for a complete description of the task.
Although this exercise directs you to preview the report at specific steps, you can preview it at any point during the creation of the report definition.
