XP and access 2003 Reports

I recently upgraded to XP and I'm running Access 2003. On my reports page,
when I pick a report and select my command button to print preview the
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/information-technology/13258-xp-and-access-2003-reports.html
report, it does nothing (it doesn't print either). It's as if the command
button is disabled. What can I do to fix the problem?

This usually indicates a problem with the printer driver.

Try installing another printer, or choosing a completely different one as
the default. If that works, there is an issue with the way the printer is
installed.

(It's not uncommon in Access 2003 with network printers, even where the
printer works with other software.)

Allen,

Would the driver have an effect even if I'm only print previewing the
report? It won't even allow me to view it in print preview. I also
discovered that when I'm in the screen selecting
tables/queries/forms/reports/macros and go to reports, I can't even view any
reports in design view. When I select a report and click design it does
nothing.

Yes. I should have explained that Access uses the metrics from the printer
driver to calculate the report. If you have no printer installed, or Access
thinks there is no printer, or if the printer is invalid in some way, you
may not be able to preview the report at all.
