1. >
This is becasue most Reports created by the Wizard in Access 2007 have a "Layout" that links the controls.
You must "Remove the layout.
In design view of the Report, seleect all the controls in the report (Or just the controls you want to seperate)
Then Click:
Arrange
Then from the "Layout" section click "Remove".
2. The ability to Export Access to Excel was not available when Access 2007 was first released.
It has since been ressurected with Service pack 2 for office 2007.
