About this Article:

Whatever your situation, there's a way users can generate on-the-fly reports of their own design, modifying layouts and using the fields, summaries, and sort order they prefer. By giving users access to one report building file, with layout mode unlocked, you can have the best of both worlds -- a tinker-proof solution, with virtually the same level of reporting capability you get building reports from scratch.
