<div>Hi Mike,<br></div><div><br></div><div>A long while ago I had a file where only some of the reports were generated.  I can't remember which ones got left out or even if there was an error associated with it.  It was one of those ghostly buys.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I think it had something to do with having an input in a greyed-out field in the HVAC systems dialog that was still filled in from a previous iteration of the file, but I can't remember exactly.  If you use user defaults, you might want to go through your inp file and get rid of any defaults that aren't current.</div>
