Report could not be opened by ACT!

[ritakog]

See attached error messages.  Happens with several reports I tried to run or edit.

12.1.181.0 HF1

Any ideas why this might happen?

My thought is to try copy the reports from the CD.

Never mind...just found KB 25716

It's a security issue - UAC again!

Sounds like corrupted reports. The only time I've seen that message is after I made an error editing the XML code.

Thanks, Roy.

Went back to this client and put in one of my reports.  Same problem.

Where do we go from here?!

I have tried everything that was suggested I.E "Run as Administrator. Open UAC. Nothing has worked.

Windows 10, ACT 2012 Ver 14.1.108

I am not sure what I should next?

Hi Budsage,

Unfortunately Act! 2012 is not listed as compatible with Windows 10. While it might work most of the time, it is likely that you may run into issues like this one.

You could try running Act! in compatibility mode for a lower version of Windows (right click the Act! icon > Properties > Compatibility tab > Run this program in compatibility mode for... ).

You may need to try a few different settings, but I'd recommend trying the Windows 7 setting first. Bear in mind there are some other known quirks when running Act! in compatibility mode, but I think this is your best bet if you're running Act! 2012 on Windows 10.

I'd ideally recommend considering an upgrade to a newer version of Act! though.
