One of users is getting the following error when running a reporter.exe report from a client (report runs fine when run on the server).

First Window: Can't compile script: 1 scripts compiling

When click through get a second window: Could not create the following formula sum(Operation!BOM_INV_REQUIRED)

Any ideas anyone?

This question was first asked on 06/13/2000 on this web site by someone else (they didn't get a reply), my customer needs an answer and I can not afford to put them off until 2012.

Any ideas anyone?

Jim-

I was going to wait until 2018 to answer, but…

As you know, the Reporter.exe is no longer supported. Without pulling the code out of the archives and reloading it, I suspect that the reporter is trying to create the temporary dictionary item, but that it may already exist, or a flag may already be set.

With everyone else out of the system, can you look at the dictionary for the table, look for any 'weird' %fields, and delete them? (After doing a backup of the table, of course!)

That's my best guess at this point.

I expect to be on the mother ship by then .. Maybe me and Tom Cruise will take you guys with us

If it is trying to create a dict item, perhaps it is a runtime engine error msg?

This is what I have tried.

Ran the report on my machine it works.

Ran the the report on my server from my client (a laptop), it works.

For the above I tested using the clients run time engine.

Had the user run the report on his server, it works.

Had the user run the report on the server but from a client, he gets the error.

So it's something he to with the fact that he is running from a client machine. The client user has read / write access to the OI install directory (if he didn't our copy protection would fail).

Does reporter.exe need write access to anything else?

Looks like I am going to have to run reporter and log all disk access, unless anyone has any better ideas.

Dsig, with regard to the "mother ship" do I need reservations or can I just show up on the day of departure? If so will it be much more expensive?

…and will more than one "ship" be departing and if so I can book on one Tom Cruise isn't on?

There is a REPORTER.EXE and a REPORTER.RUN, which was the runtime license. Which one is the client using?

They should be using the non runtime reporter.

However why would it make a difference, this is a report created by one of my co-workers.

They are however using a runtime Oengine.dll.

What I don't understand is why it works fine on the server but not when run from a client.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I should ask them to do?

In the application properties manager there's the list of users names with create permission. What happens if you add the user name to that?

Jim,

Has the Client Install been completed.
