Creating a dynamic report
Now we will create a report with some statistics on our fuel consumption. To do this, we have to
modify two queries: End-Reading and Fuel Economy. We will be adding the FuelCost field to the
End-Reading query. Then we will add the FuelCost field from the End-Reading query to the Fuel
Economy query.
Tip
When opening a query to edit it, it might appear as in Figure 239. If you move your
cursor over the black line (circled), it becomes a double headed arrow. Drag it to a
lower position.
