Report feature not working, can not create reports

I have Microsoft Access 2003 installed. Whenever I try to create a new
report, or access an existing report for editing absolutely nothing happens.
No report is created nor does an existing report open. There is no error
message that appears. It's just that nothing happens. Now when I try to do
this same thing on a different computer everything works just fine. There
are 3 computers in the office that this is occuring on and there is no
explaination. The feature was working previously but now it's not. Any
thoughts on why or a possible solution would be great as our IT specialist is
stumped. We even reinstalled Office 2003 on one of the computers and nothing
changed. Thanks

Ron,
I've experienced this bug before, in a client environment.
Make sure you have a legitimate printer defined, through your operating
system, for that particular computer.
If Access can't find a legitimate default printer, you can't open the
report in either Design or Preview.
You might also want to make sure that the default printer has the very
latest drivers installed. (available on the web)
