Why is access not generating reports with or without wizard

[Guest]

I am running a stock inventory database set up to calculate stock receipts
and issues. I am able to run queries and forms with no problems but the
dammed program flatly refuses to generate any reports. I have tried using
both wizard and design view with no luck. The only result I get is access
telling me that it is unable to generate a report. BIG HELP! I'm using Office
2003.

Make sure a "default" printer appears within Access: File>PageSetup.

In my experience, "Unable to generate reports" means Access can't find any
printer driver information. There might be other causes, but that's the only
one I know about.

HTH,

I have the same problem, but "Page Set up" is Greyed out for me. Also
strange, in any form or table "Page set up" is availble, but simply wont open.

I only have this issue with Access for some reason.

I would suggest you install another printer. You don't actually have
to have the printer connected, as long as Access thinks you have one.
Follow the Printer wizard and select a driver from the list.
Make this printer your default.
Then try creating a new report and see if this helps.

Is it possible that my problem is because I'm running on a network and my
printer is on the network as well?

I got it figured out, thanks. I was not set up as the administrator on my
computer and that fixed the printer driver issue... and subsequently the
reports issue as well.
