You say that you are using XML files as the datasource, but you also say that you are using MS Access. Not sure which one is true. Also, do you have a copy of the Access database on each computer, or if it is on the network do they have access to the network drive? It has to be mapped to the same drive on every computer. The computer setup has to be identical in every way for CR to be able to print the report on each computer.
