cannot preview access report

I have an access application.
I am calling on the OpenReport method of the DoCmd object to preview a report. I keep getting this error because I don't have a printer set up on the computer.

Is it impossible to preview an access report if you donot have a printer attached to the computer? The error number I get is 2202

here is my code
DoCmd.OpenReport "MonthlyReport", acViewPreview

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I think so ... I think you do have to have a printer defined in order to print preview ... You could try and establish a dummy printer ...

it depends on what version of Access you're running. XP doesn't require a printer, but 97 does. i'm not sure about 2000, but i think it also requires a printer.
