Causes and Fixes

Cause

Reporter uses Excel to send a copy of the report via email. This only works on a MAPI-enabled system.

To narrow down the problem, try the following 3 things:

1. Ensure that Excel can send email.
a) Launch Excel, and go to File > Send To > Mail Recipient (As Attachment). A new email should be created with the .xls as an attachment.
b) Send this email to the desired email address.
c) If cannot successfully perform the above, check that all mail settings are correct in Outlook.

2. Run the attached 'Mail System Test.xls' Excel macro and report the results.
a) Go to Tools > Macro > Security > Medium.
b) Reopen this file and select Enable Macro.
c) Go to Tools > Macro > Macros... and select 'MailerCK, and click Run.

3. Obtain the report template file and test whether or not it works on your machine. You can find the report template file in the following directory:
x:\Program Files\Power Measurement\ION Enterprise\config\reports
