installing a very generic driver, such as a HP Laser JET III (assuming this is a
Laser) and printing the report against that. Buggy print drivers seem to
be becoming an issue again.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=740041219-09042003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If
that fixes it, then you might want to try altering some of the original driver
settings (such as spool format), or report properties (such as Layout For Print
and Fast Laser Printing).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=310330818-09042003><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have a client
(Bill) who sells a little application to local city governments and comes
to us about once a year for tweaks and upgrades. Today he has spent the
whole day at one of his cities, trying to get his app to run on their
WinXP/Office XP machines. (This app was originally developed in 97 and
converted to 2000). Everything is fine except that reports do not
run. Hitting the Preview button causes absolutely nothing to
happen. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=310330818-09042003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was thinking
that this was a problem with the app, or the conversion to Access 2002,
but I don't think so now. I had Bill create a completely new .mdb,
create one table with four fields: ID, Name, Address, City. The ID
field is an autonumber PK, the rest are text. Bill used the report
wizard to create one simple report from this table, and received the message
that "The wizard is unable to create your report". Creating a report
without the wizard produced a little more information, a complaint about a
lack of default printer. (I don't have the exact text of the error
message, and I can't get it, because Bill has given up for the day and gone
home.)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=310330818-09042003><FONT face=Arial size=2>We double-checked
for a default printer, which there was, but in the hopes of changing
something, we deleted all printers and re-installed one, setting that to the
default. The printer will act correctly as the default printer
for Word, Excel, etc. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
