MORE INFORMATIONIn a Microsoft Access 7.0 or 97 database, you cannot create a report if you do not have a default printer installed. When you convert a database created with Microsoft Access 1.x or 2.0, a default printer is also required because Microsoft Access 7.0 and 97 will create a new database and import the objects as new objects.
