Header? Footer? Detail? Form?

Header? Footer? Detail? Form?

Can someone please tell me why these things exist. I realize they
are different sections of a form, but why is it necessary to have them
divided up?

Please help me to understand this.

These allow you to organise the output of your report.
In a Form:
Header - always appears at the top of the form
Detail - is usually where you would place any subforms
Footer - always appears at the bottom of the form

In a Report:
Report Header - prints on the first page of your report.
Report Footer - prints on the last page of your report (you can also use
this for Grand Totals)
Page Header/Footer - prints at the top and bottom of each page
Group Header - prints at the top of each group
Group Footer - prints at the bottom of each group (you can also use this for
Group Totals)

In addition to Steve's explanation, the Detail section is printed/shown one time for each record in a Form/Report
recordsource.

Please help me to understand this.
