The report creation wizard will not launch for me when I try accessing it from both the View menu and from an attribute table. I am able to open a saved report template though. This seems like it is a Windows 7 issue since the wizard does launch under Windows XP. Or it could be a 64bit vs 32bit issue.

I see this has been reported elsewhere (look in the comments)

I actually ended up doing the task using Mail Merge in Word 2007. It was so easy to format it together from an exported attribute table - I'd definitely do this again, even if I could get the report wizard to work.

Are you running on the same machine or is there any other difference between the XP and Win7? For example 32bit/64bit? – MathiasWestin Oct 17 '10 at 7:52
good question, I should have mentioned that before. XP is 32bit, Win7 is 64bit. – bsigrist Oct 18 '10 at 3:10

Works for me on Windows 7, so this suggests it is something specific to your environment and not a bug in the software.

Not too sure on how to troubleshoot further - ill have a think, and will edit this later. (Cheers for the tip on doing this in Outlook)

Would you look at that... hmm... here I was thinking it was OS specific. Thank you for trying it out. – bsigrist Oct 17 '10 at 1:58
is your version of Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit or 64 bit? – bsigrist Oct 18 '10 at 3:10
64. Although I can also vouch that it works on 32 as well. – Simon Oct 18 '10 at 3:13
