Which version of GenoPro are you using?  The versoin 2.7.1.5 does not exists.  Probably you mean 2.0.1.5.

Do you have MS Word or OpenOffice installed on your computer?  If so, which 'Office' versoin are using?  Can you try to manually select "MS Word" or "OpenOffice" before generating the report.  It is possible the auto selection does not work, however if you select manually, it will work.

there are 3 choices on the report options screen, browse (for a choice) is not one of them.

I've MS Word 2002 (10.6612.6714) SP3
note: I've Not installed SP3, to many updates includedat I don't need, want or use.

Word opens at the end (then, upon opening Word) I get to see the message:
Using the "Auto";
Note: Auto Select - OpenOffice control could not be initialised (429: Automation server can't create object) - Checking for MS Word
[110.68] Error: OpenOffice and/or MS Word control could not be initialised (1: )

Selecting MS word produces the error;
[24.73] Error: OpenOffice and/or MS Word control could not be initialised (1: )

Word 2002 should be fine.  I generated a report using Word 2000 and Word 2007 without problem, so I guess Word 2002 should be fine as well.

429: Automation server can't create object

Are you the Administrator of your machine?  Sometimes the security settings on a computer does not allow the instantiation (creation) of an object such as a Word document.

I am unable to find a solution.  Microsoft recommends re-installing Office (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244264)

There is one thing you should check. I.e. The destination folder for report output must be valid and be on your local PC (e.g. not Web/FTP). This is because the script copies the Word template from within GenoPro to the folder specified. If this is already valid then try generating the report from a custom skin. (Instead of clicking Generate, click Copy Skin instead to copy the skin files to your GenoPro skin folder , the close and reopen the Tools/Generate Report dialog, and chose Customized Descendants Report as the skin. With this method the Word template from the custom skin is used.

If you still have problems I suggest you try a repair install of Word 2002, as it may well be an incorrect registry entry causing the problem.

The report skin uses the ActiveX automation interfaces (or API) of either OpenOffice or MS Word to actually build the report content, and therefore no other Word Processing product can be used.

Could this Word error message (using "Open Office Document") be the problem? (while attempting to open a genoxxx.htm in the '..reports' dir)

"Microsoft Word is not your default web page editor. Do you want to make Word your default editor? Note that web pages created in other Office applications will continue to open in the applications they were created in."

I've never created a web page before. The 'Birthday Listings' report creates the '.htm' successfully
