Data is no good unless it can be entered by and shown to the users. In this chapter, you will learn how to create tools for user interaction by creating a form that has both one data source and two data sources related to each other. It shows data from both data sources and links the report to the selected record in the form by using menu items. You will also be able to create a menu and a navigation page consisting of menu items that will open the form and the report.
This chapter will also show you how to create Reporting Services reports in Visual Studio using the new Reporting Services extensions.
