I am using ACCESS 2003 on Vista Home Pro 64 bit. Created a database on this
PC.

I opened file on PC using XP Pro and ACCESS 2003. All appears to work
normally except reports. I cannot open them and I cannot create one.

Any ideas?

Thanks
 
Not my intent to be cryptic. I am not trying to print reports, I cannot open
them. I can open the database, open forms, run queries, create forms, but
when I try to open a report nothing happens. If I try to ereate a new
report, I cannot. It seems as if something occured in creating the database
on the PC running Vista that is not compatible with ACCESS running on PC
with XP.

I burned file to a CD and used CD. Same results on PCs with XP, but works
normally on PC with Vista.

If you don't have a default printer assigned on the PC that is running
the database you can't open the reports, print the reports, view the
reports, or design reports.

So the first step is to check to make sure you do have a default printer
assigned.

You both set me on the right track. I did have a default printer set but it
was a printer on my home office network. I changed it to pdf printer on the
PC and all works as intended. Amazing that I have not encountered that
before.

Thanks to both of you.
