Are you referring to CRM Online or Dynamics O365 or Dynamics AX or something else?

      Thanks! OK, I have a bunch of reports and dashboards built using CRM Online as a data source. I have never run into this issue. Then again, I do not typically have the Desktop open with the reports and try to do refresh at the same time that the reports in the Service are refreshing. When you refresh from the Desktop, are you then also trying to Publish it to the Service? Because that would seem like it could cause problems. I can't think of why it would cause an issue if you were just refreshing the report from the Desktop and the Service simultaneously unless this caused some kind of "lock" on the CRM Online OData side, which I can't imagine but that would be the only common element between the two refreshes.
