Terri,
Did you ever get this solved? I found your post today and I'm having the
same issue with a client's site. I don't get a yellow error bar and can't
download their reports. I had to clean and wipe the hard drive on one of the
laptops and reinstall xp without SP2 to be able to do the downloads. I would
much rather use my desktop for this stuff.
Any luck?
Thanks,
Angi
