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
