The Fixed Assets data file FASSD.DMD gets created (or overwrites the existing file) every time any of the reports 1 to 4 are printed. That would be the Asset Report, the Depreciation Projection Report, the Depreciation Comparison report, and the Asset Net Value report. If anything is preventing the FASSD.DMD file from being created, that would result in the error message you are getting.

Has this report been printed OK before and just stopped working now? Or has this never worked? If the first, then have you changed anything or installed anything new?

Check that the user who is logged in and using Fixed Assets has full read/write access to the F: network drive, and specifically the F:\ASP\DATA directory. This would be a network setup process. Also determine if the FASSD file is marked as read-only; it should not be.

What you could do is try to rename the FASSD data file, then print the report. When I did this, the FASSD file is simply recreated.

Neither printing any or the general reports or editing assets uses the FASSD file; those functions would therefore not trigger the error you are getting. Make sure also the version of the Windowing System Manager and if security is enabled.
