   I've had that happen when a user opened a report directly using the full   
   version of Paradox w/o having the correct working directory set (or   
   appropriate alias set up). Paradox displays an error message, then, when   
   the user closes the report, displays another message saying the report   
   has changed and asks if it should be saved. If the user saves it, the   
   next time the report is opened, it'll be missing it's datamodel.   
      
   That's a good argument for providing delivered reports to users and/or   
   restricting them to using Paradox Runtime.
