Terminal Server - Report won't open in design/normal view

[Meltdown]

Hi all,

I have an app running on a Terminal Server. A problem has cropped up recently where none of the the reports will open in design view or normal view, with no error messages. These did work so I'm thinking it might be some type of windows permissions error. I've also noticed I can't make a new report either, even logged in as Admin?

On my local machine, the reports work, so they're not corrupt

Do user need to be able to read/write to the folder the database is in to view/design reports?

Thanks for any help

possible because the TS doesnt have a printer set up, or the printer has changed?

You hit the nail right on the head Dave --- the printer selected was marked as 'offline', setting to a new default printer sorted it.

Thanks very much, never would have got that.

its the sort of thing, that once you have seen it, you remember the possibility, but it isnt obvious at all, that you cant design a report without a valid printer.
