Report Player Window is Blank

Summary:

As a user assigned to Report Player opens up a report, the application finishes authenticating the user. When the user goes to the Run tab, it is left blank with no parameter selection or Run button.

Symptoms:

 Cause:

This is caused by the user having the "Show the Start screen when this application starts" option checked in Excel Options General. The Report Player window actually opens up in a window behind the report. The Player window may not be visible in the window behind the report.

Resolution:

Uncheck that box and whenever a report is opened, the Report Player window should appear correctly.
