Running from System Account up vote 4 down vote favorite 1 I'm having trouble with Microsoft Access 2010. I have a reporting module that prints reports to printer, or to file. http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/run-time-error-2501-out-t2000730.html The reports can be user requested, or automatic print. The user requested reports run from the desktop logged in user. The automatic print is kicked off by my Windows Service. We used to print these to .RTF and they work fine. We want to modify our access reporting database to print to .PDF. This is where the fun begins. If we launch the access database as a user application, the report prints fine. If we launch the access database from our windows http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20060388/access-error-2501-the-outputto-action-was-canceled-running-from-system-account service we get an error 2501 "The OutputTo action was canceled." This application is running on Windows 2008 Server R2. DoCmd.OpenReport "Summary", acViewPreview DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Summary", acFormatPDF, DataBasePath & "Summary.pdf" DoCmd.Close acReport, "Summary", acSaveNo If I change the acFormatPDF to acFormatRTF (and change the filename to summary.rtf) this works fine. If I run this code as a logged in user, it works fine and generates the PDF. If I change my windows service to "run as" a user instead of the System Account, it works as well. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to run the service as a user account (without a LOT of testing). Any thoughts on why the system account cannot OutputTo PDF? pdf ms-access-2010 share|improve this question asked Nov 18 '13 at 23:48 GSaintD 2113 Do you have any PDF 'printer' installed (e.g. an Adobe trial) other than the default provided by Office? –Cal279 Jan 13 '14 at 9:30 I know that this won't help you with your current problem, but, for the long term, I advise you to move to a different architecture. Running Office applications in an unattended (e.g. service) context is officially not supported by Microsoft. –Heinzi Jun 11 '14 at 7:59 add a comment| active oldest votes Know someone who can answer?

Posted on 2008-03-27 MS Access action was 3 Verified Solutions 10 Comments 2,630 Views Last Modified: 2013-11-27 Hello.. All of the sudden, seemingly out of the blue, I can get an error every time I try to Output a report: "Run-time error 2501: The OutputTo action was canceled." The code that generates the error is: DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, Me.Name, acFormatPDF, strInvPath I have tried the following steps to troubleshoot: 1. Go the outputto action back to previous versions of the DB where the Output worked... still generated the error 2. Change the format to acFormatRTF... still generated the error 3. Change the Path (strInvPath) to "c:\" .. still generated the error 4. Try the code with a different report .. still generated the error I'm at a loss, I can't for the life of me figure out where this error is coming from. It really puzzles me that it worked before in previous versions, now I go back to those previous versons, and it's not working. Any help would be great... thanks! -cdmac 0 Question by:cdmac2 Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google LVL 75 Active today Best Solution byDatabaseMX (Joe Anderson - Access MVP) Here is a typical *example* where that error occurs, which may help you track it down: You have button which opens a report ..

I have a form that allows the user to click on a button that will run reports. The reports will automatically run and then output to PDF files that are saved to variable assigned folder paths. At random, I will get an error "Run time Error 2501, ouput to pdf action was cancelled". It just started occurring yesterday after I decided to rerun some reports after making changes to some of the field values in a related table. Normally, when rerunning the reports, the old PDF reports are replaced with the latest PDF reports and there are no errors. Then, yesterday, I suddenly began getting the Run time error 2501 at random and the error stated that "the output to PDF action was cancelled. It didn't occur with every PDF report that was being replaced...only with some reports and it varied each time with regard to the reports that it would err out. It wasn't with the same reports each time I ran the process. Very strange. Once I cleared all of the old files from the folders where the reports output to, the errors would stop and everthing would run just fine. Here is the twist... I reran all reports again this morning two
