Difference between Form and Report
| SlNo | Form | Report |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Forms can be used for both input and output. | Reports, on the other hand, are used for output, i.e., to convey information on a collection of items. |
| 2. | Forms contain data from only one record, or are at least based on one record such as data about one student, one customer, etc. | A report, on the other hand is only for reading and viewing. So, it often contains data about multiple unrelated records in a computer file or database. |
| 3. | A form can also print but not so effective. | Reports are mostly printed to give more control over how data are displayed and show greater flexibility in presenting summary information. |
| 4. | Forms are used to collect data from users for the system into the files/database. | Reports are used to deliver information to users taking from the database. |
