Hello Everyone

I am getting this error message when I try to generate a decendant report

Can anyone help please?

Line 36 attempts to display an error stating that no word processor has been found. Do you have any of MicroSoft Word, OpenOffice or LibreOffice installed?

Hello

I have MS word installed. I also get the same message when I try to run the report but select "auto"

here is a screen capture of the report paprameters I set up.

Hmmm, the only other time I have seen something like this was when Word was waiting on a prompt that prevented Word Automation from starting. When you run MS Word directly, does it show a prompt of some kind? If so clearing that prompt so that it doesn't occur again may fix it. BTW what version of Word do you have?

I am not sure what you mean by "When you run MS word directly" I have assumed if I try to open Word or a word document.

If I have assumed correctly then I do not get any prompts at all the program or document opens normally.

The screen capture I posted above is all of the information I get when I run the report using MS-Word in the parameters.

I am using word professional 2010 and it has worked on other reports I generated?

What does the line "No local configuration messages found" mean is that what is causing the problem?

I downloaded and installed LibreOffice and it works using that in the parameters?

thank you

Yes you assumed correctly about running Word 'directly' Smile

The message "No local configuration messages found" is not significant here. It occurs when no specific language has been selected under the GenoPro Language menu item. The script does not assume the default of EN and looks for a local config messages file (ConfgMsgLocal.xml) and displays this line when not found. But it then assumes EN anyway. I should perhaps remove this message.

The error handling in the script is not the best. Blush

but if you download and the attached amended script DescendantsReporter.js to replace the existing one in your Common\Code folder it MAY give a more meaningful error. I can't guarantee this as I am unable to reproduce the error you are getting.

N.B. Generating the report using Word is much slower than with Libre/Open Office.

Downloaded the new file you attached and it wrote the report to Word no problem.

Thank you so much for you help.
