- Reports do not print.

- Scheduled reports do not run as scheduled.
- 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.
- Labels are not being replaced with Strings table values.
- No report output is found.

- Reports fail intermittently with errors

- Report gets an Error 13 - Type Mismatch.
