Bind a Report to Data

The main purpose of Reporting is to create and customize data-aware reports which take data from an external data source (many types of which are supported), to which the report is bound, with controls in the report linked to data fields in the data source.

A Report can be bound to data from the PDMS Dabacon project database, or from another database such as an Access database. A report cannot be bound to both types of database.

Once a data source has been defined, the elements from within that source can be further restricted by defining a data source scope.
