Should a report be based on a Table or a Query?

[JMM]

I am extracting a range of info from one table to produce a number of reports. The database is networked with the table on the server in the back-end.

Should these reports be based on the table or on a query which is in the local front-end?

Thanks in advance [sig][/sig]

I generally favor using the table in this situation. If there is any sorting/grouping in the report, the report will 'virtually' run a query to sort the records, so adding another query just 'prolong' the processing.
