ReportWriter won't run

1

ReportWriter doesn’t run after updating to releave 1400 EE. I had been running it in 1399.
There are no messages or error dialogs, just “paused” for a bit when I attempt to run it, then nothing. Running as Administrator doesn’t help.
I reinstalled the 1400 release, but same results.

Anyone else had this problem?

Hi,

Perhaps try another default printer in Windows for example the Microsoft Print to PDF. After that, run your ReportWriter report.

Best regards

Thanks Jeffrey. My issue is not the report, it’s that I can’t get ReportWriter to “open.” The ReportWriter program does not start. I did create reports using it under releast 1399, but 1400 seems to have broken it?

Hi,

Sorry, I can’t help you with this. You might consider contacting SV.

Best regards

Did you try what Jeffrey suggested?

i.e. specify an alternative Windows default printer?

Report Writer is a standalone product? Have you tried opening it in another folder? Have you verified that it is not running off-screen?

Sorry these are basic questions that you have probably tried, but it would be nice to know that you have checked these?

PS: I’ve only ever used RW in C6.

Maybe someone with 1400 can verify if RW runs for them?

I did not change printers. The program doesn’t run. It is not loading in the background.
Since it worked in v1399, I re-installed r1400. The file date, size, etc. is the same…it just doesn’t start.

I did report it to SV and they will be getting back.

Thanks for your interest.
