Automation error the object invoked has disconnected from its clients cmdPrint_Click

Automation error the object invoked has disconnected from its clients cmdPrint_Click. Occurs when printing a custom report (invoice or cheque).

Summary:

 This error occurs when one of the fields on the underlying report you are trying to print has been deleted.

If you design custom reports it is advisable to save a copy of the .RPX report format (using File > Save in the report designer).

Detail:

The solution is to restore the default format (in the Report Designer click ‘restore default’).

After restoring the default you need to make a further change to the design (like re-positioning one of the fields) otherwise the system won’t save the changes to the layout.

If you want to remove a field from a report you need to set the visible property to ‘False’ and not delete it.
