From the
Run

Run Active Report
to test your report.
The
Run
menu changed for active reports. The only format for an active report is
HTML, and you are given the option to view the results or to receive a file download dia-
log to save the report locally. The results should be similar to Figure 6.3.
15.
Click the
Chart
tab to see the results in a pie chart display similar to the one shown in
Figure 6.4.
Notice how the active tab has a different background from the inactive tab. This functional-
ity required some HTML programming in our Chapter 5 example. The functionality of tab navi-
gation is now built into this control.
