Report will not open

K

kr

I have a report that I have not been able to open. The message that appeares
when I click on the report is "There isn't enough memory to perform this
operation. Close unneeded programs and try the operation again." I have
done this - closed all programs, opened the dbs on a computer with more
memory and higher operating system, what is going on? the OP is XP @ work but
I have Vista @ home and it still didn't work. In the report I had several
calculated text boxes and possibly this was too much. I went to the help
site and noticed the "hotfix" download but I am not sure of this - the dbs is
on my computer @ work and I don't won't to download something that has not
been fully tested or made sure. Is there anyway I can recover this rpt or at
least open it in design ivew (i can't do that either) and salvage the
formulas I have typed?

Yes, I forgot to mention that....I tried all of that as well. Does this mean
what I think it means? All gone? How do I prevent this in the future? and
why doesn't it give some warning before it locked up?

Take a look at on-line searches for the /decompile flag. As I recall, it's
"undocumented", but may work around the issue your report is causing.

Have you searched/found/used the JetComp utility ("unsupported")?

Could you throw out the old one and rebuild a new one?

I haven't used the Jetcomp utility yet. I thought about it but will try. i
tryied using it before when my dbs had crashed but it was not successful.
The only thing that repaired my dbs was uploaded it on a higher leverl - it
was in 2003 and when I tried opening it in 2007 it repaired the dbs. but I
will try today.
I will search for decompile flag.Is it something I just download on to my
computer?
