I've tried logging in as a different user and rebooting the server, i get the same issue. I check once a week and last week i could view reports without problems, so I'm just a bit stumped as to why all of a sudden I'm getting this error, nothings been changed on the server. just wondered if anyone has come across this error before thanks in advance and if anyone needs anymore information let me know Vicky Tofield IT Technician Sir Christopher Hatton Academy
