The VS reports are more capable than the ones in Access.  

For example, you can very easily set up sorting by columns.  You can also set up one report to drill down to another one (I haven't done that yet!)

Will be having a look at this myself, I tried the report writer and adding the final report into a VB2013 app, but never got it to work, hopefully will be able to re-visit this at some point and sort it out.
