Generating Invoices in Visual Studio 2013 with MS Access (C#)

Question

I need to display data stored in MS Access database as a report (Invoice). I have tried this by creating a .rdlc file and dragging the required data fields from DataSets in DataReport toolbox, but this will display the all the invoice numbers and the data that comes under those Invoice Numbers. So I should be able view one invoice at a time by their invoice number and display data under each invoice number seperately. The data relationships are all set in MS Access. To make things clear, My Invoice should have one Invoice Number and display all items that comes under that invoice number and I should also be able to view other Invoices with different Invoice Numbers (Navigation from one invoice to another).

I have not used MS Access much for creating databases, as a requirement for this project I have to use it.

Thanks!

You need to filter the data in the report. Microsoft's example is here . The choice of data source shouldn't be a concern.
