Of course, Microsoft has changed their statement from 'this is by design' to 'this has been identified as an issue'. Those folks are unreal: unfortunately they're the only game in town.

I've got a report on Access 2000, but in the report screen I lost the icons to export to Excel, is there any way of bringing them back? The database was created through VBA so I cant see any toolbars. Is there a keyboard shortcut for exporting to excel? thanks Hello,

I have to generate order intake analysis reports daily, easy B4 with the "analyse in excel" option in excel XP and previous versions. Only solution I can think is to send the report as .xls, generating lots of raw data in a readable format for excel. Access tries to be helpful by letting you automate this using outlook task. Then use Excel to analyse the data using the various lookup cell options. It a lot of hard work at first to get all the formulas, cell values etc right, but afterwards with the automatic generation of the xls file through outlook, the actually daily report generating is now near enough instantaneous. The advantage is that even though you are generating a second, intermediate xls file, it is your well designed, formatted and presentable spreadsheet that is doing the hardwork for you.

Unfortunately it is painful – much spreadsheet manipulation is needed.
The closest way of eliminating the need to completely re-modify the Excel spreadsheet is to ensure the report you make in Access 2007 looks as much as a spreadsheet as possible.
1. Ensure the all data fields have their own labels/titles across the top with the data directly under them (column headers) – put these titles/labels in the “Report Header” area of the report.
2. Avoid grouping data in the Access report – keep all information in the detail area of the report – once the Report is copied into the spreadsheet the user can group as they wish
3. Eliminate (from the Access report) page headers – just use the field labels across the top of the report as the “Report Header” ONLY. These will be your column titles in the spreadsheet.
I do this for ONLY the reports that I need to export to a spreadsheet.
Once the report generates follow Ibrahim’s instructions and you should have a decent report that requires just minimal manipulation when copied to a spreadsheet. It is still not perfect since empty fields mess things up a bit – but should save allot of time.

It is sorted by manager. Is there any way to email the managers their appropriate section from this report? It has page breaks where needed and the managers name on the report.

I did not have this problem when exportting from Access 97. Any ideas?
