Hello All,
When a user on any of my client machines attempts to create a report in
MS Access he receives the following message:
"The wizard is unable to create your report."
I have found the following on the MS support site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/208553
This also causes various other problems when working with Access
databases and forms that have already been created.
That article states that you must have a default printer installed for
MS Access to work. The problem is that my client machines all have a
default printer, but it is a NETWORK printer, served by the Samba
server. I could add local printer and set it to default, but that kind
of work-around doesn't really solve my issue.
Any ideas?

Or just try setting default devmode = yes in the printer's section of smb.conf. cheers, jerry Fred Nuffer wrote:> Hello All, > > When a user on any of my client machines attempts to create a report in > MS Access he receives the following message: > "The wizard is unable to create your report." > > I have found the following on the MS support site: > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/208553 > > This also causes various other problems when working with Access > databases and forms that have already been created. > > That article states that you must have a default printer installed for > MS Access to work.
