Hi All,
I'm wanting to allow users to view report previews, even if they have
no printer installed on their PC. I'm currently opening the reports with
DoCmd.OpenReport, which throws the 2501, "action was canceled" error.

Is there a way to let users view the preview, even though it can't be
printed?

Nope. They need SOME kind of printer driver even if there is no physical
printer connected. They could just install any old driver. A PDF writer
would be a good choice for a PC that had no physical printer.

If no PDF driver in machine, then install print to file driver. I believe
every Windows machine has that.
