RM provides an ActiveX that I CREATEOBJECT() on the report form in my app. After the required populating, the ActiveX allows the user to preview the report, but when the report is empty for whatever reasons, the ActiveX, I believe does not do the required clean-ups. Then suddenly my app (no special place, when closing the form, when exiting the app) will throw a C5. I have confirmed this that when I can successfully run the report, how many ever times, I don't get the C5.

No idea.
Can you figure out that the report is empty BEFORE running the ActiveX?
Like, selecting some records and then checking for the _tally variable.
