FWIW, Depending on how the report is formated in Access, exporting to Excel
may result in 100% garbage (the more indents & groupings, the worse the
results get). That may be why a snp format was used.
I've seen some cases like this where exporting to Word & then copy/paste
into Excel sometimes provides better results than exporting to Excel
directly, but not always. Exporting *editable data* from Access *reports*
can be very, very problematic.
HTH,
