    Take this:

     

    • Check for Missing Data: Ensure that the report has data to display. If there's no data, the report will be canceled. You can add a message box to inform the user when there's no data2.
    • Review VBA Code: If you have VBA code that opens the report, make sure it handles errors properly. You can use error handling to catch and manage the error3. Here's an example:
    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
DoCmd.OpenReport "YourReport", acViewPreview
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number = 2501 Then
    MsgBox "No data available for the report."
Else
    MsgBox Err.Description
End If
    • Check Event Settings: Ensure that the event settings for the report are correctly configured. Sometimes, incorrect settings can cause this error.
    • Verify Record Source: Make sure the report's record source is correctly set and that the query or table it references contains data.
    • Repair Database: If the database is corrupted, try repairing it using Access's built-in tools or a third-party repair tool.
