Default Access 2007 Save Form As Report

Hi,

In Access 2003, I could just save the form as a report by right clicking in
the container window.

What happened to this feature in Access 2007? I can't seem to find where I
can do that anymore....

Help?

Thanks!

David

Default Access 2007 Save Form As Report

The way you set up an on-screen form to make it easier for users to add/edit
data may or may not represent the best way to set up a report to display a
set of data that the users will NOT be interacting with.

Yes, I know you can "use a form as a report", but the underlying design
principles differ...

Good luck!

I found it...click on Office Icon - Save As - Save Object As....

Seriously though, every thing takes LONGER to do in Office 2007.
Right-click on the container window back in 2003 was way easier to use.

I know what you're saying, but since I have nested subforms, that was the
easiest way to go...then just clean up format.

YMMV
