Could it be that you are running into an authentication issue? How do you create the shortcut?
Oracle9i,DB2/AS400/Busobj 6.5/Powercenter7/Cognos8 /
SSIS 2005 / SQL SERVER 2005 /PowerDesigner 12.5/15

Hi,

As mentioned in order to diagnose this it would be helpful to understand how you created the shortcut, what version of Cognos you are using , what IE version and the particular IE error that you receive.

For instance did you for the given sample report, go to the more action and select "Create a shortcut to this entry"?  Is it when you click on the set properties icon of this shortcut you have the issue.

I have tested it and can see no issues

Kind Regards

Rob
