Reports lost in runtime package / deploy

[capnmark]

I have packaged 2 different dbs with developer tools package / deploy. Both dbs work great under access. Both work fine as far as form and data manipulation & vb. Neither will show any of the reports in either database.
This is driving me nuts. It's like there not even there.

Have tried various solutions. Closing the calling form, changing form prop. to modal=false, in each instance the forms will exit or yield control but no reports are there.
no errors are generated.

Do you have default printers defined?

On the test machine no. But the reports are not default to print they are set to load preview. But I'll try it.

Thanks for your reply

You will not be able to open any report without having a default printer defined in Windows.

Yes, yes, yes...

I guess it never occured to me that wanting to display a report in... duh "print preview" would require an installed printer.

My co-worker just purchased his Thinkpad and it had no printer installed, I plugged in the cable and Win XP made my troubles disappear... and my reports appear!

Y'know after several hundred hours of development maybe it all starts turning to mush.

Thanks for your help
