Reports do not run

Hi,

I have a database that has worked for years. All of the sudden two people that use this database are unable to run the reports. I can run the reports and so can several of my co-workers. What happens is that they double click on the report but nothing happens. There is no error, no nothing. These two employees are designated to a default printer and they indicate it's the same printer they've been defaulted to for some time. They can not look at the design view and when I try to create a test report on their machine, I get a message that indicates that the design wizard can't create the report.

Any direction is much appreciated.

Thanks!
 
If the recordsource is a query, check to make sure it's returning something; if a table, maybe it became corrupted?

I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger.
Then it hit me.
 
I did test several of the queries and they are returning what they are supposed to.
 
Try installing a Generic Text Only printer and setting it to print to file to test if there is a printer error, because it sounds as if there is.
 
Play with changing the default printer and/or updating their printer drivers.

I tried changing the default printer and that worked. I'm not sure what the deal is with Access and that particular printer but at least I know what the problem is.

Thanks!
