The Data Wizard helps you to quickly and easily define a query, break groups, and totals for a multiquery report. After the wizard has created the data model, you can:
modify the data model in the Data Model view
use the Data Wizard to create additional queries
use the Report Wizard to default the layout
modify the layout in the Paper Layout view, including reordering or adding new layout sections
In this release, the Data Wizard does not support creating links between queries. To define parent/child query relationships, you can create a data link manually.
A powerful quality of the Data Wizard is its ability to operate in re-entrant mode. This means you can use the Data Wizard to modify the queries for an existing data model.
To invoke the Data Wizard in re-entrant mode, click an existing query
and choose ToolsData Wizard.
The Data Wizard provides six buttons to help you navigate through its pages:
Cancel |
Cancels all changes you have made (if any), and exit the wizard |
Help |
Displays online Help text for the current page of the wizard |
Back |
Navigates to the previous page in the wizard |
Next |
Navigates to the next page in the wizard |
Apply |
Applies changes you have made (re-entrant wizard only) |
Finish |
Saves changes you have made with the wizard (if any), and exit the wizard |
If you click Next before you have entered all necessary information for a particular wizard page, the wizard prevents you from navigating to the next page. Similarly, if you have not entered all necessary information into the wizard when you click Apply or Finish, the wizard automatically places you onto the page where you can finish entering the required data.
