i need to create a report that looks exactly like an excel
report. the access report wizard doesn't have one that
matches! i need help, how do i format what i need in
access to look like the one in excel? thanks.
 
As there is great flexibility in what an Excel "report", actually a
formatted spreadsheet, can look like, this question is unanswerable as
asked. If you mean "how do I print an Access report that looks exactly like
a plain, standard Excel spreadsheet" then the answer is that you can use
borders on your text boxes and labels and carefully match the formatting you
use in the Excel sheet.

On the other hand, it would depend on what you have in your spreadsheet.
I've seen (and occasionally created) spreadsheets whose only relation to a
table with rows and columns of data was the grid -- they'd have a number of
base values and many calculations.

Please follow up or clarify, if need be, here in the newsgroup, not by
e-mail. Thanks.
