'Open' button is greyed out - intermittently cannot open any Data Entry Forms

Troubleshooting


Problem

User launches the 'main' Controller client (CCR.EXE). User clicks 'Company - Data Entry reported values'. User selects the settings (for example 'Company', 'Actuality', 'Period' etc.). However, the 'open' folder icon is greyed out, and therefore cannot be clicked on (used). This means that the data entry form cannot be opened. The problem is intermittent - for example, the same user was able to open the same data entry form earlier.

Symptom

No errors are displayed. However, the 'open folder' icon (for the Windows 'Data Entry Reported Values') is grayed out. It is impossible to use this icon.
