Access is unable to open or create reports

[LaurieDHopkins]

Can anyone help? - My Access (2003) suddenly became unable to either open or
create Reports. Everthing else is OK. I have re-installed the whole of
Office & the problem still exists.

My Apps work on other PC's with Access 2003.

Confused & Bemused..

Have you searched google for any similar questions? If so, did you find and
attempt any solutions? I see this question several times each week. If you
can't find a solution, come on back.

Hi,

Yes, I searched Google / Yahoo and others and there was really no helpful
stuff there. The strange thing is that after a week of just getting a very
breif "hourglass" when trying to run or design reports, last night whilst
trying to find out what was going on they started working again.

I cannot put my finger on what I have done to correct it. Usually if I was
in support listening to my story I would immediately put this down to user
error (the problem that mysteriously fixes itself!).

If I find out what caused it I will feed back to you.

Thanks.

I typed "Microsoft Access unable to open reports" (without the quotes) into
google and got 8,250 hits in google groups. Many of these suggest printer
drivers and having no default Windows printer. This is the first place that
I would check.
