Reporter Specific

I am calling reporter and passing the paramters to it. I get this error:
  Cannot connect to OI - check user name and password 
Then I get:
  The Report or query is locked by another user 
I checked the user name and password and they are correctly passed.

Utility('RUNWIN','REPORTER.EXE /AP=SYSTEM /UN=JEFF /PW=PASSWORD')

Greg from RTI repeated the problem. Another tech support person got it to work using the same command on a different computer. I need a resolution. Greg and I are using standard documented syntax and it does not work.

(Notice the ! before REPORTER.EXE)

What was that supposed to accomplish?

Well, it was an educated guess, I guess. Placing a ! in front of LB or DWB is required to load the database manager or system editor. Figured it might solve some of the reporter stuff. Probably should have tried it first before posting, huh?

Did anyone solve the problem of "report or query locked by another user"? I'm getting this message, and can see no errors. I even get the same message from the windows run window command line.

Trying to run report from a program using RUNWIN utility service.
