Custom Report Formatting in Access ?

[JimJones]

Hi.

I tried to create a report in Access to look somewhat like an already existing receipt, which has grid lines. Now, the grid lines are mostly even rows and columns, except for a few.

Now, it would be very easy to mimic the basica report layout in Excel, and think that's how to best create the report, if Access doesn't have a better way to do it, than to manually create/place/drag each column and row line - line by line.

Is there a custom report component I may not be aware of, in Access?

If not, can someone clue me in on how to get the Excel 'report' I've created, to print, once the user clicks on my "print report" button in the Access database ?

Thanks,
Jim

Knowing what your Excel report looks like would help.

I've found Access reporting extraordinarily flexible.

There's no custom report component with Access. However, there's probably an add-in out there somewhere.
