Reports won't open

hi,

I have several clients, where reports will not be displayed. They have
Windows XP and Access 2003 installed (mixed service packs).

The

DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName"

throws no error, but won't display the report. Also the report events
are not called. I used break points as well as a message box to confirm
this.

The .mdb is not corrupted (its a fresh one, all objects copied).

The same .mdb runs on other clients fine. To be more precise:
Opening the report on a failing client will show no report (all reports
are failing, not only a specific report). Taking this .mdb file to a
working client, opens all reports.

It is not an issue of service packs, even the majority of failing
clients have only SP1 (Win XP and Access) installed.

I need some clues where to look for a solution, but think its caused by
the normal DLL hell, cause the clients are running in a enterprise
environment with a 3rd party software distribution system.

Maybe someone has encountered similar problems and can provide a solution.

Thanks.

A quick search of this news group should find many similar questions and
suggestions. Normally this is caused by not having a default printer defined
in the Windows Control Panel.
