MS Access 2003 problem for reports?

[RIM-Pro]

Good morning,

We just switched to Access 2003 (from 2000) last week, and now none of my reports will open. Everything else works fine, I can open tables, queries, forms, etc., but I can't even open a report in Design mode.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is it an Access 2003 quirk or am I doing something wrong? Any ideas on how to fix this would be great. Since all of the other objects work I guess I could just redo the reports--there are only three of them.

Again, any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Earl

Sounds like an Access security issue.

Can the reports be opened in design view in the prior Access version.

This is an old programmers trick to insure no one messes with your hard work.

am not sure that this is your problem, but one thing that we have seen is problems in conversion with any old hanging code - the conversion seems to hate any code which is not actually linked - so if you sometimes grab one old form or report to create the next one and you delete, for example, a button from the old form, but not the accompanying code (as i often find myself doing), you encounter this problem - you might want to take a look at your reports in the older version and see if you have this problem - jim
