Hi Omar
I simply used MyStandard to upgrade from 8.2 to 8.4. I've been digging a little more. I imported their data onto my laptop, and in single user mode, the reports are listed. However, in client/server mode they are not. Yes the customer has HAL but I have tried their data with no HAL and it's the same.
I have also tried exporting user-defined reports from 8.2 and importing into 8.4 with the overwrite flag set, but this has not solved it.
