I hope that someone can help me resolve this issue. I work primarily with the Microsoft Office Access program and have been using Access 2003 for the last few years. I recently decided to upgrade to 2010. Before upgrading I downloaded the trial version to test it out. I found that with the trial version that Access would hang or stop responding everytime I used anything to do with reports. I initially assumed it was to do with it being a trial and shrugged it off.
I have since upgraded my machine with MS Office Professional 2010 but I am still having the same problem. It takes me hours to complete a report and modify it in design view. It is so frustrating! I am even considering going back to 2003 but I really like 2010 and its features. I have put it on an XP machine as well as Windows 7 but the same problem persists.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with my problem.

Many MS Office products, including Access, depend a whole lot on the printer and fonts that are being used, so by simply using a built-in Windows font versus a printer font, results may be very different.
Another 'gotcha' can be embedded graphics, as sometimes a user may add a small high-resolution company logo to a report, but it's making each page be something like 10 megabytes, which slows the editing and printing to a crawl.
In general, most MS Office Apps maintain at least three file locations where they store your data file, temporary files, auto-recover files, and even the 'lock' file for the Access database. If the application is misconfigured, such that the temp files are being written to a LAN folder, or the user has read-only access to the folder, weird things can happen.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
Why does Access 2010 hang or stop responding everytime I create a report?
