Hi Shamil and Mike

That's fine - but I can add that the first reports I made were heavily assisted by the wizard you can select to use - makes at least some data to be presented initially which otherwise can be quite hard at the beginning when you try to find up and down of the designer.

Further, many features are "hidden" - you have to right-click here and there to have a popup menu with a lot of interesting options - like page header and footer. The properties pane only displays a fraction of the options.

Also, coming from Access, you wonder where the Details section is. At takes a little while for you to realize that everything like that is lists or tables. But it all adds up to a very powerful environment.

Hi Mike,

Please ask any questions on how to make the "Invoice" report.

Please do the report parameterized by Order.ID (in the case Order.ID is NULL all the invoices should be output to the report).

Sorry, no time to prepare another tutorial: basically this Invoice report is expected to be rather simple stuff to develop (when one makes such reports regularily) but when one starts doing them they could have some tough times especially if they come with MS Access reporting experience:

- the Invoice report is expected to use MS ReportViewer's Table control with one group with header and footer. 

For report' logo you can use NorthwindTradersLogoForOrderForm.jpg from \Resources subfolder (make it embedded into report by using MS ReportViewer's Image control)

Please ask any questions.

Gistav, please correct me if I'm wrong with something I have written above, please add your notes (if any) to help Mark to make his first(?) MS ReportViewer report...

Thank you.

Shamil
