Report cant be of single datatype, record is collection of different fields. Mostly, file comprising of heterogeneous data fields. So field is the only one which points to single data type.

A field can be easily explained by a simple example i.e when we enter a name in the log in form, in that box we can enter only a name i.e nothing but a field.

As a field is a column and a single column contain only one type of data hence field contains only one type of information like name or a group of characters.

Fields are the specific columns of a tables that contain only one type of data .
Eg: Table of Employee
EmpNo Name
1 sujit
2 ajit
3 nitin
Here 1,2,3 are the employee numbers they will be only numbers.
sujit, ajit, nitin are names they will always be characters.
Eg: Table of Employee
EmpNo Name
1 sujit
2 ajit
3 nitin

sujit, ajit, nitin are names they will always be characters.

A record is a row in a database whereas a field is a column. So a column holds only one type of info like name.
