Why is the export to excel not avaialble for a report? Access 2007

11 New Member
I am trying to export a report to excel but the "excel" option is greyed out. I can export the query the report is based on, but not the report.

However, if I open the database on another PC I CAN export to excel.

I've tried reinstalling Access, but it doesn't make any difference.

I've also installed the compatability file (as the version of excel is 2003), but to no avail.

What am I missing?

Many thanks for any help I can get - I'm pretty new to Access.

Looks to be a common A2007 problem. When using A2003 all should work.
An alternative might be to export just the query the report is based on.
(My favorite way, as the MS Word and MS Excel export do "criple" the data anyway.

You could try to create a new empty database and import all objects (using "get external data") into there and try again.

I want to be able to print the reports (which are simply based on...

Is there a way to export an MS Access Report to Word/Excel that looks EXACTLY like it appears in Access? When I export to Excel, only certain data appears, titles, headings... all missing. The format is not aligned... When export to Word, all my lines (table lines) are gone, making it hard to read. Thanks. Perry

Using VB.NET, I've created a report that takes data from a stored procedure, which goes into some aspx page controls, and inserts that data into a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet template by using Office 2003 COM objects. Unfortunately, I just found out that I can't install Office on the server, so I need an alternative method. The report needs to be in a certain format with specified fonts, bolds, colors, etc..

I have an application developed in Access 2000, to be distributed as an MDE. For those folks without Access, they install the free Access 2007 runtime. For the most part, this seems to be working well. However, when viewing a report in Preview mode, if you right-click and select the "Export" option (I have defined a custom menu which includes the standard "export" option), when using the runtime you immediately get an error, which says,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
