As a follow-up to my original post, I have done a little more investigating.
* Under Access 2000 (where the app was developed) the reports view and print just fine.
* Accessing the A/2000 database across the network from a PC running A/2002 - all of the forms view fine, record locking works correctly, but the reports do not preview or print. The preview window is either empty or has a few meaningless characters randomly displayed.
* Placing the A/2000 database on the machine running A/2002 and running it locally (single user) - same problems.
* Similarly, updating/converting the database to version 2002 and running it locally (single user) - same problems.
Software versions used:
Development system:
Windows XP
Access 2000 (Office 2000 suite) 9.0.4022 (SR-1)
Test system
Windows 98SE
Access 2002 (Office XP suite) just installed SP-1
Hope this helps.
