The main difference between reports and forms is the purpose of the output. Whereas forms are primarily for data entry and interaction with the users, reports are for viewing data (either onscreen or in hard copy form). Calculated fields can be used with forms to display an amount based on other fields in the record.

With reports, you typically perform calculations on a group of records, a page of records, or all the records processed during the report. Anything you can do with a form—except input data—can be duplicated by a report. In fact, you can save a form as a report and then customize the form controls in the Report Design window.
