[AccessD] Creating a Spreadsheet from a Report

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 asked as well. :)  They want to be able to add some stuff to it and
send it to vendors (it's a buy report that comes out of my MRP system)
and the vendor will then note on the report actual ship and dues dates -
stuff like that.  I think.

Rocky - I have to ask:

Why does she want a spreadsheet to look like a report?  What's she going
to do with it?

Dear List:

I have a client who wants one of the reports in my app to be exported as
a spreadsheet.  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?
