Access 2k3 reports broken...

[Johan Pingree]

I do not have access (npi) to any of the reports in any of my access
projects. Reports are listed in the database properties windows. But
selecting any of them to edit produces nothing. NONE will open. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled office 2k3 and it does not fix the problem. I
can take those same access applications over to my laptop which runs Office
XP Pro and those same access application work perfectly fine! I can create
and edit any reports I want to. WHAT GIVES with Access 2K3! Can ANYONE give
me a clue as to what I can do to fix this? I am not insterested in
rebuilding a machine that works perfectly fine. I would rather go back to
using the older version of Office and RETURN Office 2k3 and get my money
back!!

Both my desktop pc and laptop have WinXP Pro with all SP's and hotfixes
installed as well as dot Net Framework 1.1 w/sp1. If you need more
information please ask I will give it gladly.


Thanks.

For those that read this comment the solution was to ensure that you have a
default printer assigned. I have FinePrint (www.fineprint.com) as my default
printer which Access 2k3 did not like. Thanks to Duane Hookom for the much
need answer - see his comments in the microsoft.public.access.reports group.

I am having the same problem as Johan AND I do have a default printer
installed (HP Laserjet 4M). Funny thing though, I was able to create a report
ONCE. After that, nothing! All else works but not reports. Any further input
would be appreciated. Cheers!
