Default How stop duplicate fields when creating a Report in Access?

no metter what method I use to create the report - it throws double fields
into the report. You manually delete one of each and proceed and it
continues to add double fields.

We did not have this issue in 2003 version. WHat is the problem and how do
we fix it?

Are you talking about the record source (a query) for the report listing
fields twice?

If so, check the underlying query and see if it has an asterisk (return all
fields) in SELECT clause of the query. It is a property of queries in design
view (Output all fields). Set this to No to eliminate the fields showing up
twice.

In 2007 you can probably stop this from being the default.
Click the Office Button
Click Access Options
Click Object Designers
Uncheck Output All Fields

To add to John's information I have had queries that in the design view did
not show the asterisk but if you looked at the SQL it was there.
