    Hi,

    as Subhashis said, if your report is created in Word and in the system it is configured to use Word layout, system will always open Word for the preview.

    There are multiple areas in NAV where you can set the default layout, depending on what kind of 'report' you're running. Check 'Report Layout Selection' first, then Document Layout for customers, if that is a customer specific report.

    Hi 

    in report properties "DefaultLayout" set as Word , that's the reason in preview mode its open in Word File. You need change "DefaultLayout" as RDLC .
