    Filter for selecting "fields" to create a query that will be used for a report.

    Hi

    So I know it's possible to create a filter to select "records" to print in a report but is possible to create a filter to select specific "fields" that you would want to include in a report (meaning in the query underlying the report).

    I'm doing it to make it easier for the users of the database to create dynamic reports for printing as sometimes the fields needed (as there are ALOT of fields) vary.



    Really appreciate this forum and all the help received
    Thank you.

    Cannot be done with normal query/report. Would have to use a lot of VBA.
