A user has created and saved a report which contains a large number (over 50) of filter prompts. When the user executes the report, it is initially possible to answer the prompts as expected. However, after a large, but not fixed, number of prompts has been answered, the user receives the following error message:
ImageList must be initialized before it can be used
Failed to load control 'ImageList' from Mscomctl.ocx. Your version of Mscomctl.ocx may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application.
The underlying cause of this issue is that the number of prompts on the report exceeds the Practical Usage Boundaries. Strategy Practical Usage Boundaries recommended the maximum number of filters per report to approximately 50. This is a general guideline, and the exact value of this limit will vary according to the user's specific environment.
An enhancement request has been logged with Strategy to increase this limit.
Re-design the report in question or its constituent objects so that the reporting requirement is met without such a large number of prompts on the report.
