Report: A report is a formatted presentation of data retrieved from a database, typically
                    generated  from  tables  or  queries.  Reports  are  used  to  summarise,  analyse,  and  present
                    information in a clear and organised manner for decision-making or review.
                    Form: A form is a user-friendly interface in a database that enables users to enter, edit, or
                    view data without directly accessing the underlying tables. Forms simplify data interaction
                    by providing a structured layout and controls for data input that makes it easier for users to
                    manage information."
