Adding a query to a report

E

Emma

Hello, I have several existing reports which were made based on a table.
Unfortunately I now have some variables in a query I would like to add to
these pre existing reports. I only know how to use the report wizard and I'm
using 2007. How do I add a query to a report?

You would replace the existing Control Source (I'm assuming it's a table)
with the query. Be sure that the query has all of the existing fields (from
the original Control Source) for the report as well as the new stuff.

The first step in the Report Wizard allows you to select either a
table or a query.

Actually I think Maverick meant "Record Source" rather than "Control Source".
A Control Source is used to bind controls to a field or expression.

That worked perfectly!

She doesn't need to recreat the report using the wizard. All she has to do is
change the Record Source (the brain caught it this time Duane) in design mode
of the report. As long as the fields match up, she is good to go by just
adding the new controls to the existing report.
