I am not able to Get where the error is.. The report is lying in the root folder itself. so whats the issue with this. There is one another folder aspnet_client. is that anything we need to do with that ?

Kindly waiting for the reply

This same problem was headaching me for quite a while. Now i found the answer :)

Goto c:\windows\temp folder and on its properties->security Add new User "IIS_IUSRS" and give it full/ read and write ability.

It solved the problem for me.

Hope it does for you too :)
