Cannot Access any reports 1

[rphips]

Hello

I cannot figure this problem out so I hope some one can help

I have several Access 2003 datatbases located on network drives now the tech department just did a upgrade to 2008 servers over the weekend. Now when I open an access db in access I can see and access all the Tables, and queiries but I can only see the reports. I cannot open a report in design mode or regular mode or any kind of mode and if I try to make a new report it fails. I have tried this with the database on a local drive and no go.

I have ran microsoft office repair but that didn't fix a thing.

Any suggestions on what could be wrong besides unistalling office and reloading.

thanks

bob

Just a shot in the dark...
Did you try to create a new database (MDB) then import the objects from the "appearently" damaged MDBs.

Another possibility is an ODBC Driver. Perhaps one or more driver got hosed in this process? Worth attempting to re-install or fix ODBC Drivers.

Then finally... attempt to re-install MS Access on your PC.

Well I hope one of these (3) quick ideas can help u.

I would make sure you have a default printer designated in the Windows Control panel.
