.rtf Problem

[davec69]

I have a problem printing or exporting .rtf files from reports in access. The database is located on a network server, and is accessed through mapped drives. Anytime I try to print or export, I get the following error:

"Microsoft Office Access could not find the database on the server. Verify that the database is correct."

Has anyone encoutered this error, before?

Can you post your code please....

We are just trying to run a report that was created in Access, based on a query, which is based on a linked table. I'm not sure what code you're referring to. The report was created using the report wizard. The only problem we have is that when we select print or export to .rtf, we get the error mentioned. This does not happen when printing or exporting to other formats, ie .doc, .xls, ect.

OK so theres no code involved....

You said "Linked Tables" so you are using a "Front End DB" on your local machine and the tables are in a "Back End DB" somewhere else.

If so, does a New db running only on your local machine print ok?

Yes we have split the database into front and backend, though they are both located in the same folder on an internal server.

To clarify, when several users try to send any report, using "Mail Attachment", then choose .rtf as the format, that is when they get the error message mentioned above.

The reports print to .rtf with no problem on many machines in the office, but several machines recently started getting the error mentioned above. The error doesn't occur if they choose .doc format, or any of the other formats.

I'm thinking that something they installed recently has corrupted the .rtf driver, or maybe some kind of permissions issue for those users.
