NPrinting Designer April 2018 - Error message in report preview

sri_c003 — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 16:00:00 GMT

The earlier NPrinting (Feb 2018) error message was more meaningful than the current (April 2018).

When there was section access applied on connection I was using for report, and trying to "preview" it used to give a message saying something like "section access is present on connection, but no variable defined here on which user to apply section access for".

The current error message fails, with no clue to the end user on what the error is, with the message "".

And this is the message logged to logs:

Could you please have the error message reverted back to what it was earlier. I do expect to see a lot of our NPrinting users trying to click preview with a connection with section access selected. And the earlier message would have them try resolve the issue at their end than call us for support.
