I need help with a query situation.

I set up a lovely report based on a joined query. It displays just the way I want:

Job Number Title
File Name1
File Name2
File Name etc.​


My client has to be able to export the data to Excel to share with non-Access users. I was exporting said report to Excel just fine in 2003. But of course, they switched to 2007, and I lost the Export to Excel functionality.

So I was trying to export the query to Excel, but this is what I get:

Job Number Title File Name1
Job Number Title File Name2
Job Number Title File Name etc.

I don't want to see the repeating job number from the main table, so I created a subdatasheet that replicates the look of the report. Problem is I can't export it like that.

So what do I have to do to get an Excel equivalent of the report format in order to make my client happy? I have a command button from a form that was exporting the report with this code:

Private Sub Command73_Click()

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "feedback"

stLinkCriteria = "[Job Number]=" & "'" & Me![Job Number] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, , stLinkCriteria
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, stDocName, acFormatXLS, , True

End Sub

Can someone tell me what sort of query I need to set up and how to change my code to run it from my command button?

Thanks!
