Question : Where to start with Access Reports

My software has used Access for years and now I am planning on using Access Reports to create a bunch of reports to keep customers happy and informed about the value of my software.

Where's a good place to get started?

For my customers to use the reports, do they need to have Access installed on that machine? I work in a low margin business and found that I do not need Access installed even though my software reads and writes to an Access database. (I still need to make the reports whether or not they would need to buy a license)

Thanks in advance for your reply. I can see this is a powerful tool but imagin it could take some time before I'm really good at it.

Answer : Where to start with Access Reports

Hi,
To build reports you'll need a full installation of Access.
For your clients to view them ,they can use the Run Time.

Have a look at the following to get you started:
