Hi im using DAO and access with vb6 [no ado or sql]

I have a database that is used to aorse data collected from a user in recursive cycles by a vb6 app.

I need the app to be able to print a report at the end that doe not just give me a list of records but instead will take have the date and title in the head
and display the number of types of parts used/scraped

IE an eg of my db record:

Date; time; opID; p1serial; part type; part num; fault; location; rep serial; board count;

I need the report to say a total of x boards processed (total in db) on date xx/xx/xxxx

then; so parts with number xxxxxxx had fault xxxx from location xxxxxx
etc

I can easily writ functions inside my app to get the neccessary numbers etc but I havnt a clue where to start wit code for the report.
was lookin around online and it doesnt seem that reports a really used in this kind of way, am I wrong? anyone feel like helpin a dunce out? ;}

I cannot use much outside of vb6 and access though.

thanks very much in advance
