Sage 300 2024 Encountered Error Code: 5 during FR Financial Statements Printing

Hi,

Did anyone encountered the same error code when print Financial Statements in Sage 300 2024? 

After clicked OK button, the report still works fine. Why is there an error code shown after click Preview button?

Client is using Microsoft Excel 2016 64bit. All workstation PCs at client's site are encountering the same error msg. However, the same FR report is working fine at our office.

Kindly advise what could be the cause of this error?

Thanks in advanced.

Regards,
Shandy

    Nice work!  That's a very interesting error.  Is there a chance Sage 300 is running as a different user (as Administrator maybe?) to the standard Windows user's domain account?  Or is there a chance the Windows user account can't access the Sage 300 share or registry entries, and you're having to run Sage 300 as Administrator to get it to work? The error indicates to me is that the account launching Excel cannot access the SharedData and Programs paths listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Accpac International, Inc.\Accpac\Configuration.  I would open the registry, navigate to this location and check the standard user can access the SharedData and Programs paths there in Windows Explorer, and has read/write access there.

    (in this example ensure the user can access and read/write to \\ERPSERVER\Sage\*)

    Also you could try opening Regedit as Administrator and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\ACCPAC INTERNATIONAL, INC. then right-click on ACCPAC INTERNATIONAL, INC. and change the permissions (only do this if you're confident with desktop administration):

    Good luck!
