Why won't reports open with Access on Vista?

I have developed a large database system on Access 2003. It works fine on
computers with the XP operating system. At first it worked on a computer
with Vista, but now the reports won't open. Help!!!

99% of the time this is the result of the drivers for your default printer.
Try change the default printer to another.

For what it is worth, I was having the same problem as Gene. After reading
Duane's post I changed the default printer on my "won't open" machine to
match the "will open's" default printer. Sure enough the reports opened just
fine. Next, while I had a report open I changed the printer destination to
the old default printer for that computer. After printing I saved the report.
I quit Access and changed the computer's default printer back to its original
default printer. After opening Access again the reports continue to open and
print correctly.
