Export To Excel Greyed Out In Access 2007

I found an Excel document on reddit that I am attempting to edit to suit my needs. I am having issues with it and went in to the options to change some settings. Everything is greyed out and cannot be changed. I have checked the file to make sure that it is not read only. I am as admin on the computer and, as far as I can see, have permissions for the file.

I have tried closing and reopening, as well as restarting the computer. Is there something obvious that I am missing?

Or does anyone know how I can fix this so that I can keep editing the file? Ok, the same issue occured, on all sheets, in a single workbook. The following was performed:. closed and opened workbook (handles the 'in edit mode' possibility; plus). Ensured selection of a single worksheet (not previously suggested). clicked Unprotect in File - Info - (section Protect Workbook).

Edited a worksheet and saved the workbook (proved no Excel or Fileprotections)Nothing helped. This got around the issue.

Closed workbook. Made copy of workbook. Changed name of original (the one having issues. Opened the workbook copy (with original name)Neither the cause of the issue nor the 'simple' correction has been discovered but all is now well.

I have a report criteria form where the user enters filter criteria for various reports. There is a 'Run' button that displays the report in preview mode. My user also requires all reports to be exportable to Excel.In Access 2003, when you previewed a report, a very handly toolbar would appear allowing export in various formats, Snapshot, Excel etc. This is now nowhere to be found.What I'd like to have is an 'Export' button alongside the 'Run' button that would export the report's data to Excel.Normally, I'd use the Access help system to find out how to do this (easy in 2003). But now the Access 2010 help system somehow contrives to never show anything relevant, instead telling me how to export to XML, seemingly not recognizing the term Excel. Hi AllTheGoodNamesWereTaken,Do you run the Access database in runtime mode?
