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. For information about displaying and manipulating toolbars, see "Using Toolbars" in Chapter 1, Getting Started, in the User's Guide.

This toolbar contains the following buttons.

	Select Objects	Resizes and moves controls. After you create a control, the Select Objects button is automatically reselected, unless the Button Lock button is pressed down.
