OK, with the table I want open in datasheef view I have a new Object button in the toolbar. It has a little drop down arrow next to it and if I click that it gives me choices for Autoform, AutoReport, Table Query, Form, Macro, Module, Page and Class Module. If I choose Report it gets me to what appears to be the exact same New Report dialog I previously described. I use menu functions way more often than toolbar icons as I have trouble understanding what little pictures represent and they are too tiny for me to see well for the most part. Part of why I am so lost in 2007 now as they are no menus, just that !@&?!! ribbon thing where I can'[t find anything. Perhaps it's working differently for me since it's an Access 2000 Format database? It appears to be consistent here on my work system to what it was on my laptop at home last night when I first looked at it. I have Access XP on my second machine here at work I can see if the wizard works differently there. And I can try to create an Access 2003 format database and see if it gives me diffeent wizard options.
