Can't open reports

Post by gtubbesing »

I have been having a problem with some of my reports. They are not opening. The error message is asking me for something on the 'O' drive. The only problem is I do NOT have an 'O' drive on this computer. I've attached a screen grab of the error message. Any idea what causes this error?

Thanks for all your help.

Does the report exist on the computer on some other drive or directory?
 Edit: Is your drive on a network, or was the report file prepared on a network? If so, you may need to map the network location to the O: drive.

No, it was all done on local drives. I don't know if this is related, but I tried to copy the database to another computer on our network. After I moved the ODB file, I couldn't even open the database. Is there another file/s that must be copied along with the ODB file to get it to work on a different machine?

Oh, and one other thing... these reports that I can't open, I also can't delete them. I go through the steps to delete them, but nothing happens.
