How to locate the Client Status History report file:

This error is commonly caused when some of the Rep29000.fp files are missing or damaged in the Common folder.

Follow the steps below to resolve this issue:

1. Close out of ProSeries on all computers.
2. Select C:\ProWinYY\Common for the year before the one affected.
   • For ProSeries Basic this is C:\BasWinYY\Common
   • For ProSeries Professional stand alone this is C:\ProWinYY\Common
   • For ProSeries Professional network this is X:\ProNetYY\Common
3. Copy all files labeled Rep29000.fp through Rep29047.fp.
4. Paste them to the Common folder for the current year of ProSeries with the error.
   • For example, copy and paste files from C:\ProWin24\Common to C:\ProWin25\Common
5. Replace any existing files.
6. Open ProSeries and check the e-file status.
   • If networked, open ProSeries on the Admin workstation first.
