Access won't open my reports

[Guest]

I'm having a weird problem.
Access doesn't seem to want to open any of my reports from any database.
The DB's are all independent and are not linked to each other in any way. It
seems to be affecting only people in my department (about 12 people) but
other departments in the building are not having the same issue.

When I try to print the report I get a window which says:
The Microsoft Jet database engine could not fine the object ". Make sure
the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.

When I try to view the report I get:
The OpenReport action was canceled.

When I go into Database Container Window and click on the Reports tab I can
see the reports but I cannot open or edit them. When I click on "Create
report in Design view" nothing opens. When I try to use the Wizard, the walk
thru happens but when Access tries to create the report it fails. It's
almost like the whole reoprt module has gone missing off these 12 computers.

I've tried making a test DB and creating a report for it but get the same
problem. I've already tried "Compact and Repair" NADDA. Converting from
2000 to 2003 NADDA. I've even gone so far as to unistall and reinstall
Office NADDA. All the security seems fine for both the report and the enitre
DB's.

This issue spontaneoously started a couple weeks ago however we didn't make
any changes that we know of that might cause this problem.

The rest of the functioning of the DBs are fine. We can still edit and
enter records. All the forms work fine. All the Macros are working like a
charm. It's just the Report feature!

Any ideas before I shoot myself?
I'm also posting this on the General board so my applogizes to you if you're
reading it twice.

Thanks.

There have been at least 3 similar questions in the last two days. Do you
have a default printer designated in Windows? Have you tried setting other
printers as the default? Are your printer drivers up-to-date?

Changed Printers or Printer drivers recently?

Without a default printer Access can't create or open reports.

So, check that when you open Access there is a default printer when you
invoke File>Print... or File>PageSetup.

Then make sure that the driver for that printer works (print a form or
something).

HTH,

Thank You gentlemen, that seems to have worked.

I guess it's the time of year for companies to upgrade their equipment.
