create report in Design view or Wizard

1 New Member
Hi I am getting the following message when I click on 'Create report in Design view', does anyone know how to fix this.
"There was a problem retrieving printer information for this object. The object may have been sent to a printer that is unavailable."
Also when I perform the steps using the create report wizard I get "The wizard is unable to create your report."

I would appreciate any assistance you can give me in this regard.
Sincerely

Setup a default printer (even if you don't have one) on the development pc (HP Lasterjet is a good choice). This will resolve that issue most of the time.

I want them to do as little as possible when they run their reports. I have a crosstab query that displays usage of items for each month. It looks pretty much like this: ITEM DESC UM 12/02 1/03 2/03 3/03 ...ETC. 1 Solution ...

I've seen plenty of articles on this topic but none of them have been able to solve my problem. I am working with an Access 97 database on an NT4.0 machine, which has many Access reports. I want my users to be able to select a report, click on a command button on a form, which will then automatically create the report as a pdf file and save it to the user's machine. I am using Adobe Acrobat (5.0 I think) and have Adobe Distiller as a

Hey, I have this problem to compile a big report from a few different tables. I can't lengthen a detail field of a report in design view to fit in all controls and text fields that I need. Is creating a subreport the only option? Thank you very much for your help!
