    Change form-based report to table-based report

    Hello all,
    I have a very challenging problem I hope someone can help with.

    I am going to convert our current non-standard database over to a standard one using the Order Management Database from the Microsoft site. I have attached the database with only 2 changes which I need to work out before I can proceed with the conversion.

    The first change is I added a button under tasks to open the OrderDetails1 report. The second change is I included a copy of the OrderDetails1 report which is a static document to mimic our current database report and this is the sticking point for the conversion.

    Basically, we have a report, similiar to the OrderDetails1 report provided here, which has been manually drawn and saved in our database with only certain information being dynamic. Those dynamic fields are tied to a control source on the 'Add an Order and Details' form (I know this is not the correct way but that is why I am trying to convert the database). This allows us to print a report of the items selected on the form.

    I need to be able to use the same static report but retrieve the data from a table instead of the form. Is this possible? Is there a way to change our static report into a dynamic report created on the fly like what is normally done? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Andrew
