Application.CreateReport (Access)

The CreateReport method creates a report and returns a Report object. For example, suppose you are building a custom wizard to create a sales report. You can use the CreateReport method in your wizard to create a new report based on a specified report template.

You can use the CreateReport method when designing a wizard that creates a new report. The CreateReport method open a new, minimized report in report Design view. If the name that you use for the ReportTemplate argument isn't valid, Visual Basic uses the report template specified by the Report Template setting on the Forms/Reports tab of the Options dialog box.
