Viewing an AutoDesign in Design Mode

Posted on by Community Member

When I try to double-click on an AutoDesign in a report, I get a popup error saying:

Unable to preview the report, install the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013. For more information see http://....."

I have installed Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313 in my environment and I still get the error.

I do not have this problem with Precision Designs.

According to the book Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 Reporting Cookbook, I should be able to do this (it’s one of the steps in the section, “Creating a sub-report in auto design.”) Do you know how I can fix this?

We're running 2012 R3

    Generally opening Visual Studio in relation to AX requires elevated rights. Disable UAC in Windows and restart the server, or try to run the AX client with Run as Administrator in the popup menu, before you try to edit the design. See if that fixes the issue for you.

    I have always had administrative rights on the machine and UAC has always been disabled.

    This also wouldn't explain why it works perfectly fine with Precision Design and not Auto Design (unless I'm missing something).
