A high level overview

The RDC is similar in operation to the Form designer in VB: it enables you to create instances of various classes visually.

A new report, by default contains five section objects: the Report Header (RH) section, the Page Header (PH) section, the Details section, the Report Footer (RF) section, and the Page Footer (PF) section. The sections are numbered in consecutive order from top to bottom. The top section is one; the bottom section is five. All of these sections together make up the Sections collection. The Sections collection is indexed with a one-based index.

Each of these sections has a single event: Format. The Format event is fired whenever a pass is made through the section as the report is being created. By trapping the format event for a section, you can manipulate the section or any of the objects you place in the section whenever the section is fired.

You can do just about anything with the report at runtime, with a minimum of code, and all within the VB IDE.

At this very basic level:
