Report Controls Toolbar

You can create controls on your report or label with the Report Controls toolbar. Click the button for the control you want, position the mouse pointer on the report, and click the report to place the control or drag it to size.

On a report, you can double-click any control to display a dialog box for setting options.

This toolbar is displayed automatically when you open the Report Designer. If the toolbar will not be displayed automatically, from the View menu, choose Report Controls Toolbar.

This toolbar contains the following buttons.
