unstable access install

[mikeandy]

Recently I copied a database to another machine at a client. First problem, the open report command canceled, then thining I had a code problem I tried to open the report from the menu. It will not open or allow me to go into design mode, althouh forms and queries will NO reports will allow this. The when I try to open the forms in design mode they crap out with a msacces.exe aborted mesage.

This database works on 53 other macines so it has to be something paculiar to this particular machine. I have tried a complete unisnstall and install twice to no avail.

Version: Access 2003 sp1

reports

Are these reports designed to go to a particular printer, say on the network? If these reports print out on just the local computer using it's default printer then I don't why the issues are occurring.

Access needs a local printer defined, even if it does not exist. Access can act weird if you only have a network printer defined.
