Generating Reports
Prevent possible OLE Error when generating reports
By default, on Windows, OLE applications like Microsoft Word or Excel open as in-place editors. When generating a report, It is possible to get an OLE error when using the default settings because of the specifics of your system. Here are a couple of tips to avoid that error:
1- Prevent in-place OLE editors
Window > Preferences > General > Editors
You can force OLE applications to open as stand-alone applications by unchecking the "Allow in-place system editors" option on the 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
