Microsoft Access Report won't Preview

[mbronco]

I made a copy of an existing microsoft access (2000) report, but I can't open the copy in preview. The hour glass spins for a few seconds, then nothing. I've tried compacting and repairing a number of times, but that didn't help. I've made numerous copies of the report, none of which will open in preview mode.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Do any reports display in design or preview mode?

Yes, I can look at all the reports that I have (125) in design mode, including the one that won't open in preview mode. But when I click the preview button, nothing happens.

So the only issue is the preview mode of one report? If so, the report is probably corrupt. You might create a new report and copy/paste the controls into the new report, section by section. There are some properties you will need to enter manually like the Record Source.
