Error in Reporting

I have an app that has been developed over many years with a number of reports.

I am trying to reassemble the code from backups into a new version.

In all of the old versions the reports run perfectly.

Now I get an error message as the report is about to be printed to the screen.

'Error instantiating cursor object. Cannot find .....

Now my reports are based on a table 'mycatarep'

This error is such that the report cannot find 'mycatarep_out_rep.dbf.

As a test I copied my older version reports.frx and frt's (which work perfectly well with my old app executable) into my new program folder.

Same result.


Has anyone any clue as to what is happening behind the scenes? I have table 'mycatarep' selected as I enter the REPORT FORM code.

Is mycatarep_out_rep part of the reporting system?

This driving me mad!

It's been a while, but one of two things might be happening.


1) Do you have a Private Data session associated with the report?

2) Do you have a remote view that is being created from a table prior to the report printing that is generated to provide the data to the report? And if you do, is that building properly?


Best Regards,
Scott
