Thanks Doug, but I still seem to have a problem. I deleted REPMETA.DBF and .FPT but upon opening the report wizard and editing or creating a new report, i get the following error:
DBCX MANAGER
SDTDATAGROUP isnot a valid property name. METHOD: DBCXMGT.DBCXGETPROP

At this point in time, I do not need to break up my tables into groups. And so, I only have Reportable and Sortable SDT extended properties. Is the DataGroup property required?
