MS Access Forum / Reports / Printing / March 2008Reports in Access 2003
Hi I created a database in Access 2000, however after a recent upgrade to MS Office 2003 and Access 2003 the reports no longer work. I get a message "Open Report Action Canelled" when I click on the button to open a report, also I cannot run reports using the menu in the database window or create new reports using design view. I created a new database with a table in Access 2003 and I cannot create reports in that either. All other objects are working as normal, the databases are using Access 2000 file format. Has anyone any advise on how I can get these working again? Thanks Nick Bradbury Have you installed a default printer?

But how does not having a default printer installed prevent the creating of reports or being able to view existing ones? It doesn't make any sense. Cheers Nick > Have you installed a default printer? > Evi [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> >> Nick Bradbury Access uses the printer specifications to set up the report layout. No default printer = no printer specification. No printer specification = cannot create layout specifications. No layout specifications = AAUUGH!!!!

Still find it odd that this situation exists in the first place and that it isn't mentioned in Access help or troubleshooting, not that I can find anyway. Thanks for you help Nick > Access uses the printer specifications to set up the report layout. No > default printer = no printer specification.

Bet this letter saves a whole heap of equally puzzled users from trying all sorts of major horribles to fix the same problem. Thanks for taking the trouble to let everyone know.
