If Opening Reports gives a Fatal Error in an MFT File

An MFT error occurring when opening reports is caused by some anti-virus software. We have seen this with some McAfees updates:-

This error will only be seen when the report is more than a few pages long and seems to be caused by the size of the temporary file as the report is being rendered.

To fix this issue set an exception or exclusion in the anti-virus for *.MFT and *.MF* files.
A computer restart may be required before the exclusions are applied.

Another cause for the MFT error could be a full Temp folder.
Empty
C:\Users\[login name]\AppData\Local\Temp
and
C:\Users\\[login name]\AppData\Local\Irricad\Standalone\Temp
Note that files for open programs will not be able to be deleted so [Skip] these.
