Duplicates in custom report

Just creating a simple report to show me all the tapes that allocated in the last 7 days.  

Created a custom report
1. Name = Tape Reporting
2. Field Selection - Media Cartridge Label and Device Name
3. Set filters - Media Type Name = 'LTO' AND Date Allocated IN LAST 7 DAYS
4. No Grouping
5. Sort by Media Cartridge Label

No when I click on Preview it is perfect:

Media Cartridge Label
Device Name
CK8186L4
 
CK8187L4
FCTL01
CK8188L4
FCTL01
CK8192L4
FCTL01
CK8193L4
FCTL01
CK8195L4
FCTL01
CK8196L4
FCTL01
 
Note that this is returning only 7 rows.  The preview is limited to 10 rows, but I there not that many fitting the filter.  The preview is correct.  Now when I run the actual report I get duplicate rows:

Media Cartridge Label
Device Name
CK8186L4
 
CK8186L4
 
CK8186L4
 
CK8186L4
 
CK8186L4
 
CK8186L4
 
CK8186L4
 
CK8186L4
 
CK8186L4
 
I get 14 pages of duplicate rows showing different devices.

Why is the report not matching the preview?

Thanks for any help.

  • I have SP3 on my server.  So I just put in the reg key and re-saved the custom report and it worked.

    Thanks!!
