What's new about forms and reports

Microsoft Access 2000 provides new features to make it faster and easier to create great-looking forms and reports.

• Group text boxes and other controls   Use the Group command on the Format menu to group related text boxes and other controls on a form or report.
  
  
• Define conditional formatting rules for text boxes and other controls   Use the Conditional Formatting command on the Format menu to define the font color, font size, control background color, and other visual information that gives feedback to users as they enter data on a form.
  
  
• Create forms and reports for SQL Server databases   In a Microsoft Access project, create forms and reports for an SQL Server database with the same tools that you use to create them in a Microsoft Access database.
  
  
• Distribute reports to users who don't have Microsoft Access   Export Microsoft Access reports to report snapshot (.snp) file format. You can use Snapshot Viewer to view, print, and mail report snapshots.
