Newbie guidance...compilation error

[ronedog]

Hi, just downloaded iReport to try it out.  Created a basic table report with a MySql database.  It returned the fields and everything just fine, in the design view, but when I tried to run the "Preview" I get the following error:

Compiling to file... C:\Users\ronedog\All Accounts.jasper

Did I miss something in the installation?  I just ran the .exe file.  This is running on localhost, windows vista, apache, mysql.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

this sounds like an error caused by calculating something "unexpected token: All @ line 195, column 40. 1 error ". Do you use Groovy or Java for the expressions? You can choose Java, Groovy or JavaScript for  "Report Language" . You find this property in the Property window of the report.

Here's what I did. I downloaded the latest iReport .exe, followed the online tutorial for a basic report, connected to mySql with JDBC, used the "Blank A4" template, added 3 columns (name, date, account#), I took your suggestion and changed the language settings in (Tools->Options->Language Default) and tried Java, Javascript, and Groovy. All of this still gave me the same error.

Fixed problem by reinstalling iReport. Thanks.
