When trying to distribute reports, I get the following error: Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC  


It will create the first report for distribution, but then errors out and no distribution occurs.

Thank you for clarifying!  I am not using anything outside of the standard distribution list columns; so it must be something else.  I will reach out to Velixo.

Thank you again for the help!

When passing parameters from a Distribution List to the report (so that it is updated before being distributed), the first step is to give the cell that needs updating a name:

In this example, I assigned the name "FinPeriod" to cell B1.

In my Distibution List, I can then add a new column on the end of my table with the information for that named cell:


The header for that column MUST exactly match the name I gave the cell in my report.  Notice, in this case, that there is a typo - I accidently entered "FinPerod" (instead of "FinPeriod").  While, most likely, Velixo will tell me there is a problem, there are times when Excel will generate an error.  

This is what I was referring to.

Thanks, Harry.  Would you be able to expand more on "typo in a reference to a named region"?  I am not sure I understand what you mean by this.


Thank you!

Hi Sarah.  

That Excel error can result from a few different causes.  The most common are a typo in a reference to a named region (as can happen when passing parameters to a report before it is distributed) or having a file open that the Distribution List is then trying to re-create.  

If that doesn't get you pointed in the right direction, I would suggest sending your report to the Velixo Help Desk ([email protected]) for analysis.
