Troubleshooting reports
Several common problems can occur when users try to preview or print a report. These are some of the more common ones with possible solutions:
- Reports do not print.
- Scheduled reports do not run as scheduled.
See Troubleshooting: Scheduled reports do not run as scheduled.
- Report outputs do not pick up header/footer variable values.
See Troubleshooting: Report outputs do not pick up header/footer variable values.
- The report generates a "File not found" error message.
- Users outside the network are not receiving forwarded reports.

- No report output is found.
- Reports fail intermittently with errors
- Reports fail with an error code.
- Notes do not print with a report.
- Report gets an Error 13 - Type Mismatch.
- Report gets an Error 128 - Error Running Report.
