There is no template or wizard to create a student report in access (or any
other office application). Does anyone have a template? Is there a way to
automatically increase the width of a text box as the user is inputing
information. I want to enter the student's name and then follow it with a
set phrase, eg "Mary" "is good at math" but I can't get the name field to
increase width according to the length of the student's name or achieve the
correct spacing between fields. Help!!! :O)

to create a report in Access, you have to start by creating one or more
tables to hold the data, then one or more forms to enter the data (unless
you dump all of your data into the table(s) from an outside source), THEN
you create one or more reports to display the data as needed.

building an Access database is not a trivial "let's throw something together
fast" process - unless you're an experienced developer and it's a *very*
simple project. if "quick and easy" is what you're looking for, you'll
probably want to use some other software for your project.
