Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug has been corrected in Visual FoxPro 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

After following the steps in the Steps to Reproduce Behavior section, you
receive an error as the wizard finishes. The Designer Warning dialog box appears
with the following message:

   You cannot run or modify a report from within the Output Settings dialog.

This error is by design to warn you that the report or label can not be modified
at this time. Select OK and then close the Designer Destination dialog box.
Trying to select most of the items from the menu will be useless until one of
the wizards is opened and canceled.

1. Create a query and add any table to it.

2. Right-click the query and select Output Settings.

3. Click the report or label button and then select the wizard button located
   just below the label button.

   step of the wizard, select the "Save report and modify it in the Report
   Designer" option button.

5. Select the Finish button. After giving the report or label a name, select the
   Save button.

   The following error appears:

   You cannot run or modify a report from within the Output Settings dialog.

6. Click the OK button in the Designer Warning dialog box.

7. Select the OK button in the Query Destinations dialog box and from the File
   menu, try to choose Open. The menu option appears enabled, but not
   functioning when selected. This happen to most of the other menu options as
   well.

      Wizards, select any of the wizards, and then click the Cancel button.
