Hi Tasha,

And your question is?<g>

This sort of thing sometimes happens if there's a text value in Access
that Excel assumes is a number or a date. If it's never happened before
and is happening now, something has changed, in your Microsoft Office
setup, your database, or your data.

One approach that usually the problem is to prefix the field values in
question with an apostrophe: this forces Excel to treat thenm as text.

If you post back with some examples of the exact values that are
displayed in the report when previewed, and the corresponding values
displayed by Excel after export, someone may be able to make a better
suggestion.
