I didn't have a gray screen, but did have reports that worked in R.B. but
not from the menu after out 5.0 upgrade.
Try opening the report in R.B. and do a "purge calculations". Turned out,
calculated fields that were defined, but not printed, could reference
invalid fields and not create any warnings in R.B. - but the did cause
reports to fail when run from the Vantage menus.
Next oddity in my 5.1 upgrade; after a user runs a customized RB report
from the Vantage menu and closes the window, the Vantage menu refreshes to
solid gray. The only option for the user is to log out, or change user ID,
and start a new session... This only happens on customized reports...
Any suggestions?
TIA,
Paul Siebers

Have not seen this but, in 5.1 the report filter box often opens behind the
Vantage screens so users run it again and get an error regarding a rbrun.txt
file being open. Close the error and the filter screen and all is well......

Does the report work OK in Report Builder Application? It may be that there is a new/changed field in 5.1 that the report is hiccupping on.

There are no error boxes or filters behind the report.... The reports point
to a script which generates input boxes for variables such as job number,
and, check boxes for subassembly, and a run button.... Each reports works
fine in the report builder...

Actually, here is one of the offending scripts. Vantage gui disappears as
soon as the report opens. When I close the report before running it it
opens to a full RB screen, which "wipes out" the gui.
