Tables in Reports

Nice Word Tables in Access Reports

Is it possible to have a table in a report similar to a table in Microsoft Word?

Currently, I line up text boxes give each one a unique neame and fill in the data with code on the On_Print event. It works well, and looks good, but with 16 columns and 10 lines of data, it getsa very tedious giving each cell a name.

Charts a cool and I've gotten very good at handling them. It would be nice if there was a table control like the chart control.

I am thinking about exploring creating a chart in Word and paisting it into an Access report. I don't know if there is a way to fill in its "data table" similar to filling in the data table of a chart?

I wish I followed that. I was talking about creating a Table in Word (not a database but a tabular table), then pasting it in to an Access Report. That actually works, but now I want to know how to fill out the data in this ole Word object.

Access doesn't have nice tables the way word does; you have to manually line up text boxes in to columns and rows.

I created my Access report table the old fasion tedious was, but I still would like to explore the ole object table inport from Word for the future.
