print preview bar greyed out sometimes.

I have an odd issue when printing documents.

When the report print preview shows up, the entire print preview bar is visible but greyed out, so nothing can be selected. When the user clicks on the report to zoom in, then the buttons become available and the user can print. At that point the user selects the printer and prints the document.

Oddly enough this only happens on some PCs as on others the bar is available right away.

They all share a networked back end and a locally installed front end (same version for everyone)

Ideas?

Is it possible that the report looses its focus for some reason? That would explain why everything works when the user clicks on it...

I have tried to use the following to get the report selected when it loads

DoCmd.SelectObject acReport, "rptlblCustomerAddress", True

But this also cuses the restore button to come back...:banghead:
