I have a 2002 Access DB that is the backend of some legacy VB6 programs. One of our most critical apps is running on a computer that is 16 years old running XP. I'm trying to get the system running on a WIN 7 box with ACCESS 2010 installed. The only part that seems to blow up is report printing. I get the error "A custom macro in this report has failed to run, and is preventing the report from rendering". I get this error when trying to run the .mdb with ACCESS 2010 and also if running the same database converted to a 2010 .accdb. I don't want the easy answer because i want to learn something, but could someone please tell me how to first find, then troubleshoot the offending macro?
 
Look at the properties of the report on the Events tab. See if there are any macros or VBA called. The db has to be in a trusted location for either to run.
 
Thank You Sir! I'll take a shot at reducing that possibility!
 
No problem! By the way, I think in 2010 you can also get code to run by clicking once on the "Enable Content" button.
