I've not tried it (yet), but what about looking at it from a different direction. Instead of exporting to excel, setup a template spreadsheet in excel with the proper headers, then import the data into excel via linking to the same recordsource the report uses. I don't know if it would be easier or not but might be worth a look.

I think.

What's she going to do with it?

But nota flat file. She wants the spreadsheet to look like the report - header line, details with their own fields headings, plus two other sub reports. I've done this with other reports on a cell by cell basis where the Transfer method won't work. Big PITA. Is there an easier way to do this?
