Inserting Database Fields

All available database fields are listed in the Field Explorer.

To insert a field

  1. In the Field Explorer, expand Database Fields to view the database tables.
  2. Expand a database table and select a database field.
    Tip   When you select a field name, you can review the values for that field (as well as the field type and size) by right-clicking and selecting Browse Data from the shortcut menu. The Browse dialog box lists a subset of field values, along with the field name, type, and length.
  3. Drag the selected field onto the Details section or any other section of the report. You cannot add multiple fields to the report at the same time.
    Note   As you drag the field onto the report, notice the object frame that attaches itself to the mouse pointer. This object frame represents the object you have just selected for placement. The size of the object frame approximates the length of the field data.
