What’s the difference between a report and a form?
In VB6, we have Data Report Designer to help with the creation of data reports.
I have not really used a report in my application yet. To me, it looks just like a form, but I think there must be some difference between them, or there is no need for the word “report” to exist?
Would someone please tell me the the difference between a report and a form?
A form is generally used to add/update/delete records.
A report is a readonly view of the data, you would like to see.
To give you a dumb example, you can assume a test question paper a form & a report card (which shows your grades), a report 🙂
A real example could be – when you borrow a book from the library, the software will use some sort of form to update the inventory & keep note of who the book is given to. A report in this example, could be – list of all books borrowed in this week.
Does that make it clear as mud?
