When i click on my reports or try to produce a new report in desighn view
nothing seems to be happening. Does anybody know why?

This is usually caused by a printer driver issue.

Access uses the metrics from the printer driver to calculate how to lay out
the report. If you have no printer, or the printer driver is faulty, or
Access is not able to make sense of the printer driver (usually a network
printer), it can't do anything: not even design the report.

If you have no printer, install one. (You don't actually have to buy a
printer.)

If you have a network printer, install a local one (any one), and set it as
default.

If you have a bad printer driver, you may be able to update it from the
manufacturer's site.

Access has to know about printer drivers before it can design, preview or
print reports, since reports are generally WYSIWYG.

So, the 1st question is: do you have a default printer installed on that
machine?
2nd question is: within Access, under File>Page Setup, does Access "know"
about the default printer?

HTH,

Thanks Guys, I'd changed my printer yesterday and changing it back has
sorted out the issue
