Problem viewing report with acPreview or design mode

[gellerche]

I'm working on a series of reports in an Access db that was created on another machine. It's been copied to my machine, but when I either try to run a report (the VBA code opens it in acPreview) or design mode, I get this message:

"You must install a printer before you design, print, or preview."

I don't want to print it, I just want to view it on-screen. And unfortunately, I'm not hooked up to a printer (don't ask). Does anyone know how I can get around this error without installing a printer, since I don't need it printed?

Thank you,

Steve Geller

I think you'll need to install a printer to view the preview. You don't need to have a printer hooked up, just install the printer drivers.

Thanks, IMO. I'll try it and let you know.

Thanks, IMO. I wasn't allowed to, but our tech people did pretty much what you suggested.
