Why won't my imported report show up in reports menu?

[NarcolepticCivil]

I have 10 similar databases that all need the same reports but each contains different data. I have completed the report in one database and have it configured the way that I want it (we'll call it "GOOD"). I went to another database that needed the same report, right clicked, selected "IMPORT", followed the path to the "GOOD" database, and selected the correct report. The database showed signs of activity, but when the activity stopped, a copy of the "GOOD" report was not listed in the "reports" menu window? Is there a simpler fix to this than starting with a blank database and trying to add everything I need to it?

Two things to maybe check:
1) If the "Good" report already exists on the target mdb it will be named "Good1" on import.
2) have you tried compact & repair, then reimport?

Good luck!

THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT! Right now, the "Good" report does not exist in the target mdb. I have tried to drag and drop, copy and paste, and import it into the target mdb, but it never shows up. I can select every report in the "Good" mdb, and import them all into the target mdb at the same time, and all will show up with the "******1" except the certain report I am currently trying to show up. It has stumped the guy that does all of our access database work, and my knowledge is limited at best.

Maybe the new report is hidden?

Try on Tools menu -> Options -> View tab, checkmark "Hidden Objects" - does it show up then?
