Can't save report design changes

[ken2834]

I tried to make a simple change to a report in Access 2003, however I can't save the changes. I click the X, and it asks if I want to save, I respond "Yes", then nothing happens. What do you think the problem is? Thanks.

You might have warnings set off. Open the debug window (Press Ctrl+G) and enter:

DoCmd.SetWarnings True

See if this brings back your default behaviour. If so, find your code or macro where warnings are turned off but not turned back on.

Ok, I tried that, and still nothing happens when I try to save a report change.

Are you the only person in the MDB? Do you have a default printer identified in the Windows Control Panel?

Yes, I am the only one in the mdb, and yes, I have a default printer designated.

Does this happen for all reports? Have you check through the Tools->Options-Form and Reports?

Yes, It happens for all the reports I checked.
I don't have a Tools option on the toolbar.
This report appears to be a replica, but I can't find the master. Thanks

Are you suggesting your mdb implements replication? If so, it seems this should have been mentioned in your first post since it is fairly significant.

I don't use replication but I would think you need to find and edit the report design in the Master.

Well, I am learning what is significant as I go. I didn't develop this thing, I am trying to clean up someone else's mess. I would ask the guy, except he is dead. One of my problems is trying to locate the master.
