Changing some defaults stop Argent Reports from creating and emailing reports

Technical Background

Argent Reports uses Active Server Pages and VBScript files to generate PDF reports and send emails

If the default file association for “.vb”, “.vbs”, “.asp”, or “.aspx” files are modified to use another program to open with such as Notepad++ or Notepad, Argent Reports will not function properly

2. Issue command “assoc .vbs=VBSFILE”
