When you try to create ReportBuilder requests, the RequestWizard sometimes does not display on your screen. Any additional attempts to create a request result in the following error:
- Open Microsoft Excel and log in to the report builder add-in.
- Click Create, which opens the request wizard offscreen.
- Hold the
[Alt]
key, and then press[Space]
.
- Press the
[M]
key.
- Press any of the arrow keys.
- Move your mouse, which attaches the request wizard to your cursor.
- Click the mouse to release the request wizard onscreen.
- If you have access to a two-monitor setup, connect your computer to it.
- Open Microsoft Excel and log in to the report builder add-in.
- Click Create, which opens the request wizard on one of your monitors.
- Drag the request wizard to your other screen.
- Return to your single-monitor setup, and log in to ReportBuilder.
- After you click Create, the request wizard displays properly.
This message appears when you attempt to create a report builder request when the request wizard is open. Sometimes the request wizard initially displays offscreen, especially if you move from a two-monitor setup. (The error could occur if you have a laptop that plugs into a dual-screen setup, then take your laptop home and create a report builder request).
