I am selecting Business Tools|Reports|Opportunities then any report.
I just get a cryptic message "The report could not be generated. Please try again"
Which I have done, to no avail. I just get the bsame message. The same message appears if I try and run any report.
Any ideas anyone? The Help is pretty useless.

I am having exactly the same problem and cannot find a reference or help anywhere.

Thank you Geoff. You mentioned that the error happens with any Opportunities reports. Does the same error happen with any other types of reports (Accounts, Business Contacts, etc.)? -- John Huang [MSFT]

Geoff, in order to help, I will need to have more information from you. From your post, it sounds like you are using BCM 2003.
Can you tell me which operating system do you have (Windows XP, 2003, 2000, or Vista), and which service patch BCM has right now (find out by going to Outlook's Help menu > About BCM)? Will you mind trying to patch to SP3 (version 2.0.5324.0) and try again?
Please let me know if there is any change after applying SP3. -- John Huang [MSFT]

Hi John I get the error on any report I attempt. The first time in any session there is some disk activity before the message, thereafter the message is just about instant

shanji66,
Can you please tell me which version of BCM you have? Do you have version 2003 or version 2007? If it is 2003 running on Windows XP, are you running with the latest service patch (currently being SP3, 2.0.5324.0)?
Thanks, -- John Huang [MSFT]
