| <h1>Setup</h1> |
| <p> |
| This report uses a (rather old) Microsoft Access database called "emp". To run |
| this report, you'll need to download and install this database: |
| <p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Download the <a href="emp.zip">sample database zip file</a>. |
| <li>Unzip the database into a convenient location. |
| <li>Create a System DSN for this database using the Microsoft Access driver. |
| Call it "EmpExample". |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h1>About the Report</h1> |
| <p> |
| The report has an outer query that displays information about an employee. Then, it |
| has two "inner" queries that display details for this employee. Because we are showing |
| two sets of details, we need two "subreports", and we use a grid to list them |
| side-by-side. |
| <p> |
| The report prints for Employee 2. The queries are set up to all get data for the same |
| employee. (A later revision will take the employee ID as a parameter.) |
