I can't stand the new Access

I am dealing with a database of 4.5 million records. I have a query of about 250,000 that i am trying to export to a text file or excel and the porgram can hardly open the file let alone work with it! What is going on with 2007? Is it a total POS or am I doing something wrong. I should be able to export the data somehow and then import it into excel right?

Let me know

Thanks...
