Hi Jim,
Check your printer driver. Example:
- Create a new printer and choose for manufacturer "Generic Text Only"
- Make it the default printer
- Now test your Reports (note: they'll open in design view now)
Problem: Microsoft Access is having a problem communicating with whatever
printer driver you were using initially.
Resolution: either one of the following
- Delete the printer and re-add it (corrupted printer driver)
- Download an updated printer driver from the Printer's Manufacturer site
- Or use a printer driver thats compatiable and that Microsoft Access does
not have a problem communicating with..... it's less common that Microsoft
Access has compatiably issues with certain printers but it does happen
I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
Regards,

| Have migrated from old pc (win 2k, O2K) to new PC with WinXP and OfficeXP
| Pro. Brought over old Access databases to the new machine. The reports
will
| no longer print and display error: "Problem retrieving printer
information
| for the object. The object may have been sent to a printer that is
| unavailable." The only option is to press the OK button.
|
| Data entry, queries, export still work as long as no report is used.
|
| Unable to open the report in DESIGN mode either. Any suggestions /
| recommendations?
|
| Thanks in advance.
