The specified path for the output file doesn't exist error

When running trying to run the Company tax report option I am getting the following error message "The specified path for the output file doesn't exist" as it is year end its timing is impeccable :-(.  I am hoping someone has had this error before and could point me towards where to fix it.  We were also at the time trying to create a new blank company for the future but don't believe this should have impacted on the current live company.  Any help and advice would be greatly accepted.

Kind regards

    I have had this same issue. i am trying to print to screen and i am receiving the error message you stated. The file option is not checked though there is a file name greyed out in there. I took out the file name which is for another user and was able to print to screen. i would not think having it unchecked with a saved file name in there would cause an issue though. Any suggestions?

    Thank you, now I feel like a real chump as I probably caused this by moving the original destination folder.  Many thanks Mahmoud.

    Kind regards

    The error occurs primarily because of improper path to a specific local or network drive. Before printing the report, point to "Destination" button under which there are three options (Screen, Printing and File). For the file option, there is a specified path, which appears to be incorrect

    You may uncheck this option and then re-print the report to make sure that it is the root cause of the problem. Then, get back to provide a proper path.

    Your feedback is highly appreciated,
