Creating reports
Using named searches, named sorts, and layouts you have already created,
you can make reports that find and reorder records and print the result. For
example, you might want to set up a report to print the California addresses
from your database on Avery 5164 mailing labels.
To create a report, choose New Report from the Report
pop-up menu.
Once you create a report, you can reuse or change it.
