Depending on whether you choose one or several fields, the mouse pointer changes
shape to represent your selection as you drag fields on to the report.
The fields appear in the detail section of the report, as shown in Figure 9-25. Notice that
for each field you dragged onto the report, there are two controls. When you use the
drag-and-drop method of placing fields, Access automatically creates a label control with
the field name attached to the Text control to which the field is bound.

The report with several fields added
Notice the Bound Object Frame control for the field named Picture. Access always creates
a Bound Object Frame control for an OLE-type object found in a table. Also notice
that the Detail section automatically resizes itself to fit all the controls. Above the Bound Object
Frame control is the control for the memo field Features.
Controls are needed for the customer information in the page header section. Before you do this,
however, you must resize the page header to leave room for a title you will add later.
