previewing access report

[Tesita]

Is it possible to preview an access report on a computer if a printer is not set up on it?

I am trying to do that but keep getting error 2202 which says that the report cannot be previewed or printed because no printer is connected. I don't necessarily want to print just preview.

thanks much

How is a preview different from just showing the report? From VB you can show a report like this.

Const dbPathName = "C:\My Documents\db14.mdb"
Dim Acc As Object
 
Set Acc = CreateObject("Access.Application")
    With Acc
        .OpenCurrentDatabase dbPathName, False
        .DoCmd.OpenReport "MyReport9", acViewPreview
        .DoCmd.Maximize
        .Visible = True
    End With
    
Set Acc = Nothing
