Page Report, allows you to create a layout at design time on a single page tab and apply it to the entire report. Designing a layout in this format gives you the advantage of creating a layout that appears exactly the same at design time and runtime. This walkthrough illustrates how to create a report that contains a single layout and preview it.

This walkthrough is split into the following activities:

Note:
  • This walkthrough uses the DVDStock table from the Reels database. By default, in ActiveReports, the Reels.mdb file is located at [User Documents folder]\GrapeCity Samples\ActiveReports 9\Samples\Data\Reels.mdb.
  • Although this walkthrough uses Page reports, but this can be implemented using RDL reports also.

When you complete this walkthrough you get a layout that looks similar to the following at design time and at runtime.

Design Time Layout

Notice that the runtime report layout below is similar to the one you see at design time except for the data which you see at runtime or when you preview the report.
