Moving Reports between databases

[OldManEd]

I have two database files with nearly identical structure but different
data. One has a report that I would like to use in the other one. I know I
will have to make some changes afterwards but I first need to know how to
move this report's structure, not data, from one to the other. Thanks for
help.

Ed,

Working from the db that you want to bring the report to.
File / import
You are aware, it seems, that you will have to change a few things on the
imported report.

Oops, that might be File / Get External Data / Import.

Thanks but have a clarification question. Will this import ONLY the report's
structure?

Yes, because reports don't have any data, they just show the data from
the tables/queries that are the report's record source.

You can also simply select the report in the main database window.
Copy it. Open the second database, click on Reports, and Paste.
Now you'll have to make sure the record source is correct in the new
database.
