Report not compatible with the currently opened Database... error message appears in AutoPIPE


Problem:

The following message appears in AutoPIPE when trying to export a model 

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Report not compatible with the currently opened Database
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

 
How to resolve this issue?

Solution:

This issue occurs when generating an Excel report using an existing saved report made. When opening the Excell Report manager for a given file the list of report is dependent upon information available in that specific file. 

For example, compare the left columns for AutoPIPE's example files: Walkthru and Class1_Tutorial

Notice that there are a number of columns available in one model but not available in the other model.

Therefore, the user is being informed that the selected save report template cannot be used because not all of the reports selected in the center column exist in the current model. This is a limitation of Excel report manager.

A suggestion would be to add a new IDEA, for the selected report to be used and warn the user that some of the original setting of the template were modified to accommodate the current model. Please add your vote to support implementing this IDEA here
