   Hi Mike
   Tried that, but unfortunately, still the same problem.
   Attached is the log file and the param file.
   Thanks
   Steve

   OK, next test. Find where your data is kept. In that folder should be a file called mrbrwdefault.mbjrp. Rename it to save the contents and then rerun your test. It should ask you to set the folders. Please click on the browse button.

   Just had a play and have found if I rename the MRBPreferences.dict2 file then it works. However, looking at this file it also contains config data for your quote loader. I have uploaded the file for reference.

   Further testing: If I remove this file and let it create a new one via the Quote Loader extension, then go into ReportWriter and configure the paths, then the Quote Loader config is removed.

   That's interesting.  Your original mrbpreferences.dict2 has a rogue
   directory in it
   "firstrundir":"D:\\Users\\Steve\\Desktop\\Report_output". Let me play
   around with this so I can find out what is going on.  On the one where
   the quote loader preferences disappeared, please can you rerun and
   upload the error log and the preferences file.
   Thanks
   Mike

   Hi Mike
   Files attached. The process I followed was:

   All files deleted, went into MD and ran the Quote Loader. Contents of MRBPreferences.dict2 is:
   {
   "mapData": {
   "securityquoteload.framedepth": "800",
   "securityquoteload.runtype": "rundaily",
   "securityquoteload.framewidth": "800",
   "securityquoteload.runmode": "automode"
   }
   }

   Now run the Report Writer confif and save folders, Contents of MRBPreferences.dict2 is:

   {
   "mapData": {
   "reportwriter.framex": "0",
   "reportwriter.framey": "0",
   "firstrundir": "C:\\tmp",
   "parmlastdb": "20210121",
   "reportwriter.datapanewidth": "820",
   "reportwriter.datapaneheight": "600"
   }
   }

   Back into Quote Loader and config again, Contents of MRBPreferences.dict2 is:

   {
   "mapData": {
   "securityquoteload.framedepth": "800",
   "securityquoteload.runtype": "rundaily",
   "securityquoteload.framewidth": "800",
   "securityquoteload.runmode": "automode"
   }
   }

   Backl into Report Writer and Contents of MRBPreferences.dict2 is:
   {
   "mapData": {
   "securityquoteload.framedepth": "800",
   "securityquoteload.runtype": "rundaily",
   "securityquoteload.framewidth": "800",
   "securityquoteload.runmode": "automode",
   "reportwriter.framex": "0",
   "reportwriter.framey": "0",
   "parmlastdb": "20210121",
   "reportwriter.datapanewidth": "820",
   "reportwriter.datapaneheight": "600"
   }
   }

   Hope this helps
   Steve

   Thanks Steve, it is worrying that the preferences file is overwritten. I
   will look into it.
   Regards
   Mike

   Hi Steve, I have discovered the reason for the loss of data from preferences, thanks for finding this. I have recompiled all my extensions and uploaded them to Downloads. Unfortunately these are unverified. Please download both Quote Loader and Report Writer and retry your tests.

    Hi Mike
    That all seems to have fixed the issues.
    Many thanks! I'll now start to try and work out how to create some reports :)
