I'm using Microsoft Access Professional 2003 at my business and any time I
try to create a report or open a database that generates a report. It says
"There was a problem generating this form or report". That is the only
message I get and it just doesn't work.

I've completely uninstalled and re-installed office as well as fully updated
it. On our other office machines, access works completely fine. I'm running
Windows XP Pro as well.

Do you have a default printer identified in the Windows control panel? Have
you tried setting other printers as the default Windows printer?

I am having the same problem. I do have a default printer marked in the
control panel and I don't have any problems with printing of the software.
Is this something my company could have tampered with? I know they don't
like us using Access.

Normally setting a default printer in the control panel will clear this up.
I think Allen Browne has replied to this question in the past with a more
thorough trouble-shooting procedure list. You might want to search google
groups for his name and
"Default Printer" generic

Do you have a printer defined in your computer?

If I answered your question, please mark it as an answer. That way, it will
stay saved for a longer time, so other can benifit from it.

Good luck
