Hello, help please.
I have been pulling my hair out for a few weeks now and been looking on the web for answers but not managed to find anything!!
I'm currently operating a small (2mb - approx 4500 records) MS Access database on my new laptop that has MS Vista. I'm also using MS Office (with MS Access) 2003. I'm the only user on the laptop.
The database was design and still is in MS Access 2000 version because it needs to be used on another machine that only has MS Access 2000.
However on my laptop, the Access Reports functionality does not work. I cannot create any new ones, amend, open or delete any current ones. Even if I try and use the wizard functionality to create a new report it allows me to pick the table/query but then does nothing.
I have deleted and re-loaded MS Office (including Access). I (think) I have ensured the my MS Access profile is set as Administrator correctly.
I know the database is not corrupt because I can still use the report functionality on other machines that do not have MS Vista.
Many thanks in advance for help and advice.

It may be necessary to download and install updated printer drivers from the manufacturer's site.
There are two notable symptoms:
1) From the database window, you click the Reports tab, then click New; select a report type and click OK -- nothing happens.
2) From VBA code that uses DoCmd.OpenRepor t -- report does not open, but receive error 2501 Action Cancelled.
I had seen this happen when upgrading from Access 2000-2002 to 2003 on Windows XP, maybe Vista has the same problem.

Have you tried to do anything else, design-wise, such as create a new form? A simple and often overlooked thing to do, when databases become non-modifiable, is to see if they're Read-only. Transferring the files from one machine to another by use of CDs often make the files Read-only, depending on the CD burning program. Go into Windows Explorer and check the file's Properties.

Many thanks for your advice. This is exactly the symptoms I have been getting. I better find out what my printer drivers are on my Acer laptop!
Once again thank you.

Many thanks. I have been able to create new tables, queries and forms etc. It would appear that I have to install new print drivers. Oh the fun and joy of computers!

If you develop for others, you probably have multiple versions of Access

Hi all,
So I bought a new laptop 10 days ago to test my apps with Vista. (home premium)
Apparently Office 2007 is pre-installed. (a time limited but complete test version, no SP1)
So I take the opportunity to test some new features of Access2007 before actually 'stepping over'.
First thing that troubles me of course is 'the ribbon', but my question now is about speed.
I opened one of my Access 2000-apps in Access 2007.

Hi,
We have a new client who says he can not preview or print an Access

Other users using Vista have no problem previewing or printing our

Any ideas?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
