Customer has 50+ GP companies.  There is 1 company where anytime it is the default company in MR, we cannot create a new row, column, or reporting tree.  We receive the error message above and MR crashes.  We need to add this company to a reporting tree which has all companies and are unable to do so.

    We deleted the problem company from Management Reporter, then rebuild the Data Mart and after adding back the company, we no longer received the Parameter name:  Ordinal error.

    Hi, I also had this issue and restarting the Management Reporter services resolved this issue (I had already rebuilt the data mart). Regards KJ.
