Access 2000 - export Report design, not data

Hi All!

Is it possible to export an Access Report? Not the report that is produced
when the report is run, but the actual framework, or source, of the report.
I'm trying to debug a report I didn't create, and in one field in the
GroupFooter, the Control Source property references another field, but I
cannot find the field referenced in the GroupFooter section, nor is it part
of the underlying query of the report, nor is there any VBA code associated
with the report that caould generate the field. I'd like to get the report
into some kind of text form, so that I could search. If there's another way
to solve this problem, I'd be happy to hear it.

Thanks in Advance,

Cheers,
Matt.

The missing field/Control Source could be a textbox etc. from a form
that is open to run the report, like a combobox for customer name, or
a start date and end date froming criteria for the underlying query ?
Check the rest of the forms for fieldnames.. just a suggestion

Thanks Feck,

Unfortunately, the report is run directly from the Reports menu. It is not
called from a form, and no dialogue boxes are raised except for the one's
generated by the Report's Source (which do not affect the Footer).

I appreciate the quick reply though.

cheers,
Matt.

I've seen plenty of articles on this topic but none of them have been able to solve my problem. I am working with an Access 97 database on an NT4.0 machine, which has many Access reports. I want my users to be able to select a report, click on a command button on a form, which will then automatically create the report as a pdf file and save it to the user's machine.

We are running an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL 7 back end. Our network guy is upgrading to Windows Server 2003 and wants to upgrade Office and SQL Server at the same time.

I've been saying that we need to upgrade to Access 2003, not 2002, even if Office is kept at 2002. We are also looking to do a fair amount of...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
