Export to excel.

I don't believe so. Tables and Queries can be exported to Excel
because there is a natural correspondence between Records and Fields
on the one hand and Rows and Columns on the other. Reports do not
generally have a structure that would "fit" a spreadsheet format.


Is there a way to export a report to excel.

The reporting tools I've used have an 'export to Excel' facility e.g.
Crystal Reports.

You can try using the OutputTo method (or the main menu
Tools - Analyze with Excel), but report formatting can not
always be represented in a spreadsheet.

You would be much better off exporting the report's record
source query instead.
 
That's fascinating! What you get bears no relationship to the
appearance of the Report. It's sort of a combination of the source
query and some of the labels in the Report. I can't imagine why you
would want to do it, but you certainly can. BTW, it is File|Export to
Excel, not Tools|Analyze, at least in Access XP
