Could it be that you are running into an authentication issue? How do you create the shortcut?

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
