Did you know that IBM releases fix packs to correct bugs in Cognos Software?  They do and it is important to make sure that you have the latest fix pack installed with your version of IBM Cognos software.

The link to the IBM Cognos fix pack central site is:  http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral

For more info on fix packs, go to:  http://www-01.ibm.com/software/analytics/cognos/support/fixpacks.html

You just need the latest fix pack, as that one will contain all fixes from previous fix packs.
