Howto recover corrupt Access reports

S

Seatech

Hello.
I had a working Access DB with a lot of reports. Then I installed
another printer and made the old one standard again. After that I can't
open any of my reports. Not even in design mode. Anybody have a tip on
how to recover this? I tried to export all my reports to another mdb
file, but it's the same error. The error message says something about
problems getting the right printer info.

Seatech,
This problem is due to an improperly installed/configured Windows default printer. The
reports, in preview or design mode, use the printer definitions/drivers to display the
objects, and without a default printer it is unable to do that.
Try deleting your default printer, reinstall the driver, and then make that printer the
Default again. This is more of a Windows problem than an Access problem, so perhaps
someone on a Windows newsgroup might have some suggestions if the above doesn't work.
