Message:You must install a printer before you print

G

One user of my program gets this message when he clicks a
certain button that initiatex a macro that whose last
command is to open a report. This happens with only some
of the reports. All my reports are set with
LayoutForPrint=NO. What's happening? We are using
Access2000. The system with the trouble is using XP.

The message is accurate. If the XP box doesn't have any printer installed,
Access can not print or preview period. There must be at least one printer
installed (a printer driver at least, doesn't have to be connected to
anything). This is true regardless of the Layout for Print property.
