how can i create a report without a printer installed? 1

[vacant]

When I try to create a report in Access, that irritating paperclip tells me that I cannot, since I do no have a printer installed. Short of going out and buying one, is there a way around this?

You can just add a new printer even if you don't actually have it. Just pick one of the common printers and let windows install the drivers for it. That will solve your problem and you will be able to create your reports. Obviously you wont be able to print them but you can print preview and all the other stuff you need to do.

I have in the past just used an HP laserjet or something.

Hope this helps.....
