Documenter Problem

G

I've tried to print out all documents of my mdb project but everytime the
built-in documenter is generating a ridiculously huge empty rtf file. I first
tried to document the whole project but got empty pages. I then tried using
it again with only one file with no properties, relations or anything else.
It created a 32,000+ page empty document. Only had the headers but nothing
else.

Trying to solve this I tried the detect and repair option with no success,
then I reinstalled Office 2000 and it keeps doing the same.

Any suggestions to solve my problem?

I've tried documenting on the frontend, backend and the original project
with all items included... seems more like an Access configuration problem
than it is of my project.

I even created a new test project with two tables, one form a few queries
and reports and still the documenter keeps coming out blank with over 32,000
pages of headers.

With Access closed, try using Windows Explorer to find the ACWZUSR.MDT
(Access 2000) or ACWZUSRT.MDT (Access 2002/2003) file. You should be able to
find one of these files in the following path:

C:\Documents and Settings\{NTUserID}\Application Data\Microsoft\Access

where {NTUserID} is your Windows Log on ID. Rename this file when you find
it; Access will create a new copy the next time you attempt to use the
Documenter.

Ok.. done it

I searched in all {NTuserId} sections just to be sure. There was only one
place with \Microsoft\Access route and renamed the ACWZUSR.MDT to
ACWZUSR-BKP.MDT. Re-generated the documenter for one Form in my project and
the file was created again automatically but the on-screen report still came
up empty with over 32,000 pages.

When I enter this MDT file here's what I got

a) 26 Tables where created (names like doc_tblProperties)

b) 14 Queries where created, most of the require Parameters to work
properly. But tw_qryFieldInfo wouldn't work saying tblFieldTypes couldn't be
found.

c) 0 Forms where created

d) 1 Report was created named mlbl_BarCodeTemp which when I tried to open I
got a "There is no object in this control" messge. On design mode it only
contains one ActiveX control named xole1 with OLE CLass set to "Microsoft
BarCode Control 9.0" and Class set to "BARCODE.BarCodeCtrl.1"

e) No pages, macros or modules created.

Is this supposed to be right?
