Changing the Master Table for a Report

When you create a report, you specify the master table. However, you might want to change the master table after you create the initial layout.

Follow these steps to change the master table for a report:

  1. Choose Database Master Table. The Master Table dialog box appears:
  2. Select a new master table from the Table drop-down list. Report Builder automatically assigns the new master table an alias.
  3. Change the table alias, if necessary.
  4. Choose OK to change the master table and return to the report layout.
