I have a MS-Access 2007 client using a MS-Access 2003 MDB frontend and backend files.
Disabling the ribbon bar shuts out some unwanted behavior (such as navigating records… even though I have ‘Record Selector’ set to false, it still persists in the Ribbon bar), but when I do this, then the printing options are lost when in the print preview mode of a report. Because of this, no one can actually print.
Is there a way around this?
I had the exact same problem. I created a custom shortcut menu and added the print command to this. I then set the Shortcut Menu Bar property on the report to this menu bar.
The following link shows how to create a custom shortcut menu in Access 2003
