Database problem when in Vista

[Guest]

I have a database that works fine when I am Access 2003 in Windows XP. When
I transfer the database to another computer running Access 2003 in Vista I am
not able to run any of my reports.
I am sure the problem is when I open the database I am asked about wanting
to block unsafe coding.
Can anyone help so that I can fully run my database in Vista.
Thanks.

Create a short with the Run As Administrator box checked, and use that to
start Access. Details in Option 2 here:

Once you get Access open, go to the Tools menu, Macros, and set Security to
Low.

Allen,
Thanks for the help. I can now get into the db with no problem, but I still
cannot print reports or queries, and in fact I cannot open a report in design
view.

Any more help would be appreciated.

You don't have any printer installed, or there is a problem with the printer
driver for your default printer.

Access uses the printer driver metrics to calculate the layout of the
report. If there is no printer, or if the printer driver is faulty, it
cannot calculate the layout, so it cannot even design the report.

In Access 2003, this problem can occur with a network printer.
