If you have created a report and then create a
relationship between 2 tables, do you have to design a
new report or can you still use the existing report
design and if so, what do you need to change for the
report to be accurate?

Thank you

Reports are based on underlying data sets, either a table or a query.

If you design a report based on a table (or a query of a single table), then
modify the query to include a join with another table, you MAY need to
modify the report.

If the query joins tables for the purpose of selection, but the output of
the query includes the same fields as before, your report (that references
those fields) would not necessarily need to be changed.

If the query (with join) now outputs a different set of fields than the
original query, the report will not "know" that until you modify the report.
