Access Reports will not respond

[Frankie The Flyer]

I've created a database with Access 2000 that relys on viewing reports for
displaying information. One out of 4 computers using the db is refusing to
open, edit, or design the reports! I've tried both through the switchboard
and directly from the db window. Funny thing is, I the reports all work on
the other computers. Any ideas please??
Note - reports are compiled from queries that have a date and Name input
required to sort the information.

This issue is generally linked to a missing or non existent printer driver:

Reselect a default printer for this workstation.
If there is an existing default printer it may be linked to a Network
printer that is no longer available.

Thanks for thew response but the network printer connected to this computer
is "good". I've just tried changing to a different one as defult and back
again with a re-boot in between, without any luck. The issue
remains............!!

It's most likely a Network printer issue.
Are the reports in question set to print to the Systems Default printer or
are they individually set to print to a Specific printer.

To help pinpoint this issue, change the Default printer to a locally
installed printer driver. The printer does not have to exist physically,
simply install the driver as if there is a printer attached.

In most cases, I have seen that the report has been set to print to a
Specific printer on the Network and not the Default for this workstation.
