I open an Access database, which opens fine. I try to print out the database and get the message "The OpenReport action was cancelled". I tried it on other machines and had no problem. I am not a programmer and the only solutions I found dealt with VB script. I tried loading the driver and restarting the computer but didn't work. The database was originally created in access 2000 and I am trying to print with 2003. It will print with other machines running access 2003.

I am having the same issue. I cannot print a database report that prints fine from other computers. I have printed it many times before from my computer and no upgrades/changes were made that I am aware of that might explain this sudden error. The database was created under Access 2000 and all machines involved are still running 2000. If you have solved this little mystery since your last post please post again and let me know.

Dumb mistake on my part. The only problem was that I had changed my default printer to Adobe PDF last week. When I changed it back to a real printer I no longer get the error message and can print fine.
