    Error: The OpenReport action was canceled

    When I try to open a particular report in MS-Access I get the following error message:



    Run-time error '2501':
    The OpenReport action was canceled

    On this forum and on others, people refer to the print driver in association with this error. But, in my case, the error pops up regardless of the workstation or the printer being used or the person logged on. Different reports print fine. So the error must be related to this particular report somehow.

    Weird - when you open the VBA "On Open" event for the report - you just look at it without editing anything - the report prints fine without the error! So I guess something is being instantiated or whatever just by opening the VBA code.

    Any ideas? I would love to get past this. I have seen similar posts on other forums but no solutions so far. Thank you!
