The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Access 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you view a report preview window, Access 2000 may quit unexpectedly.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if you view the report preview by using a computer that uses a different DEVMODE dmDriverExtra printer driver than was used by the computer that created the report.

For example, this problem may occur if you do the following:
  1. Install a printer that uses a DEVMODE dmDriverExtra printer driver, and then set the printer as the default printer.
  2. Create the report by using Access 2000.
  3. Install a different printer that uses a different DEVMODE dmDriverExtra printer driver, and then set that printer as the default printer.
  4. View the report by using Access 2000.
