NAV 2009 R2 Classic client freezes when I try to "design" some reports

This happens with certain Reports in the object designer. I don't know what it is, but it used to work a year ago.

I went in to modify some reports using the Classic Client and it just freezes the program entirely. Tried on several computers and it does it on all of them, so it's not just a problem with my PC.

Tried rebooting the entire NAV server, same problem.

Anyone run into this or know what might be causing it?

This may happen if the fob had been exported by a newer version. It might also be the result of some protection scheme.

Tried Deleting the Zup File.

Tried it. Didn't fix anything.

It's definitely not a protection scheme, nobody's touched our NAV installation but us and it just randomly stopped working one day! But how would I fix that problem with the fob file?

...Oh, I think I know what you're saying. We have all the hotfixes on the server, but I just installed the base client, no updates. Maybe that's why. I'll try installing the client hotfixes and see if that helps.

Yeah, that did it. I just had to install hotfix 32384. Weird how most things worked but reports would freeze the client up. I guess I should have tried the obvious!
