Presenting and summarizing data with parts
You use database parts to present and summarize data on the screen and
when printed. A standard layout has one part—a body—which contains the
data from all current records. Other parts you can add are a header,
sub-summaries, grand summaries (leading and trailing), and a footer.
To insert a layout part, choose Layout from the Layout menu, choose Insert Part
from the Layout menu, and then select the part to add.
* Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from
the list and click Go To Topic.

summary fields that summarize data in a
group of sorted records. It appears only
when records are sorted by the field it
