I've got a report. It looks good in Access, but all lines disappear when I
export it to RTF, Word, Excel or whatever.
Ho can I preserve the lines?

Thnxs,
 
Kees:

Lines etc are graphic elements drawn at run time in the Access report.
There's really no way to preserve them when exporting to RTF or Excel since
they are not part of the actual data. There's two generally accepable
options

1.) Export (Print) to a PDF file.
2.) In Access 2003 (2000 and 2002 don't work well), export to XML, including
a style sheet and then open the combination in Excel.

Thanks, the answer is a bit disapointing, but that's because I expected more
from Access. The XML option will do.
