It only happens with XP.

When I print preview a report, it locks up the program. I can switch to
other programs in the task bar, but I have to shut down access using task
manager.

If you have more than one printer installed, try the other printer and see
what happens. If you don't, pick one, such as an HP LJ4, and install the
driver. Just tell the driver that the printer is on LPT1 or on File for a
port option. Set the report to use that driver and see if the problem goes
away. If so, see if there is an updated printer driver for your printer and
an updated video driver for your video card. You may want to check for these
updated drivers anyway, just to see if it helps.

Have you tried it on more than one WinXP computer and had the same problem?
Have you installed the Office 2000 service packs? Have you run Windows
Update on the WinXP computer and picked up the patches for it, including the
Jet 4 SP 8 update? Do all reports exhibit the same behavior or just some of
them? Do other database files exhibit the same behavior?
