Preview option fails to generate report and display event data

Applies to

ApexSQL Audit

Problem description

When the Preview button is clicked, the preview generation lasts unusually long and, when finished, no results are being displayed in the central grid view. The central grid will display the “No events found” message, even though the data search returned information that there are some rows found in the targeted scope (the Total events information below the central grid view), which indicates that, in fact, there is some data to display.
