Visual Reports: An Unknown Error Has Occured

[Andrew Lavinsky]

Interesting issue I haven't seen before. Curious if anyone has insight:

New laptop w/ Windows Vista
MPP07, Excel 07, Visio 07 - w/ .Net Programmability Support installed

When running Visual Reports, I consistently get an Unknown Error dialog box.

Checked and .Net 2.0 is definitely installed on this machine. Ran the
Office diagnostic, and nothing.

Suggestions?

Hello Andrew,

I initially had trouble with Project 2007 visual reports until I
changed the option to allow legacy file formats to be opened. See
Tools > Options, Security tab.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

work.

Any other ideas?

Sorry that didn't work Andrew and I'm afraid I don't have any other
recommendations. Is the problem occurring just with Excel reports or
Visio or both? I assume you have Visio Professional installed along
with SP-1 for Project?

Yup, have SP1, everything is up to date. The problem occurs w/ both Excel
and Visio. Very annoying.

Sorry Andrew, I don't run Vista so I can't help troubleshoot any
further. A quick search of google groups didn't turn up much either.

I think the image was buggy. Got a new laptop w/ a new image, and the
problem has vanished.

Thks for the help.

Great to hear it's all sorted out. Thanks for posting the resolution.

The reports can fail to build if the plan has incomplete tasks or have prohibited characters. For example, if you have a task that is missing the name, it will not build. Remove blank lines and special characters from the plan.
