How do I modify my reports to format
correctly in Discoverer Plus?

To view your workbook in Discoverer Plus, you must first open it in Discoverer Desktop from your
local PC or shared directory and save it to the database (FILE, SAVE AS, Database, SAVE, SAVE. ) This
will add the report to the database with your user id as the owner. Note, only you will be able to
see your reports unless you share them.

Then Logon to Discoverer Plus and open your report.

Immediately save the report, File, Save. Note, this could take a few minutes, but it is important to
avoid run time errors as you are modifying your report.
