Hi , @acuevas2020 

Sorry for that I can't reproduce your problem.

Version 2.76 is the version released in December of the last year.

So far, the March version (2.79)has added and updated many features.

If you want your report to open in the old version, make sure you have not applied some features that are only available in the new version.

 

In addition , you  can  refer to this  related article to find other possible causes.
