Generating Reports

OLE Error when generating reports

The settings on your Workbench depends on your environment. When generating a report, Globalyzer shows the report using the default Workbench settings. It is possible to get an OLE error. Here are a couple of tips to avoid that error:

1- Prevent in-place OLE editors

By default, on Windows, OLE applications like Microsoft Word or Excel open as in-place editors. You can force OLE applications to open as stand-alone applications by unchecking the "Allow in-place system editors" option on the General > Editors preference page.

2- Prevent opening by default the reports

Window > Preferences > Globalyzer

and uncheck the "Display Report after Export"

3- Change the file association

Window > Preferences > General > Editors > File associations 

and associate the editor with the offending extension
