Various Errors May Occur When Printing or Previewing a Custom Report or Form

Issue

The following errors may occur when attempting to print or preview a custom report or form:

  • Error 1: File does not exist.
  • Error 41: MEMO file is missing/invalid.

Report Form File [formname] not found.

Solution or Workaround

In Sage Pro ERP 7.3, the following tables are affected when a custom form or report is created or deleted:

Custom Form and Report Tables

Table Description
SYRFCUS
(custom reports)
Stores customized report files
SYDFCUS
(custom forms)
Stores customized report form

When a custom form is created or deleted the SYDFCUS table is updated and the SYRFCUS table is updated if it is a custom report. In SYDFCUS or SYRFCUS, the Cuspath field contains the location of the customized form or report.

If a custom form is manually deleted outside of the program, one of the error messages listed in the table below may appear when attempting to use the custom form or report. This may occur because the record for that customized form or report has not been deleted from the SYRFCUS or SYDFCUS table. As a result, the program attempts to locate the custom report based on this record but cannot find it.

Possible Errors That May Occur

File Type Table Updated Process Error message if file is deleted manually

To avoid these issues, it is recommended that customized forms or reports be deleted from within System Manager or in the corresponding module where the report or form is used. Review the following two solutions to resolve this issue:
