RTC Report Error The provided metadata is not valid.

Hi all,

While trying to open the Report Layout of a Report I faced a strange error that says.
---------------------------
Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic
---------------------------
The provided metadata is not valid.
---------------------------

I searched on the web and after finding the solution, I was kind of felling angry.

At one end Microsoft says that when you are trying to run any application in windows 7 try RUN AS Administrator. I had set most of my application to default RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

Microsoft says the resolution of the issue I was facing is-

This error can happen when the following conditions are true:

• You are using Windows Vista and User Access Control (UAC) is turned on.
• The executable file that runs the Visual Studio development environment (devenv.exe) is set to run as an administrator.
• The executable file that runs the Classic client with Microsoft SQL Server (finsql.exe) is not set to run as an administrator.

To resolve this issue, set both finsql.exe and devenv.exe to run as an administrator.

Here is the post where i found the solution

Thanks & Regards,
