export to pivot table fails

Post by dean_quarrell » Mon Mar 03, 2008 11:02 am

I^m using RR ver 10, and have been reliably generating pivot tables for years. All of a sudden, the export fails with "You are attempting to open a file type that is blocked by your registry policy setting"____I see one other reference to this failure in the archives but no resolution. Ack!

Figured it out; Office 2003 SP3 had been auto-downloaded & installed, and it contains updates to the registry that block some file types from access by Excel. Thanks a lot Microsoft. They do however provide a reg editing file to unblock - get it from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938810
