Last night, I was creating a simple boonlean conditional data item that I used to drive a boonlean variable and then used that variable as a style variable to edit the box type and cause certain rows to not render when my boonlean condition was false.

This morning, when trying to open my report I recieved this error message and the report cannot be opened:

This document does not contain a valid report specification.

Reason:
The namespace prefix is not allowed to start with the reserved string "xml".

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Hello,
Were you able to solve this problem? If so, could you please share the steps you took?

I am having the same problem with a report created by someone else in Cognos 10. I now need to modify the report.

Thank you,

Lili
