Unable to send report output to printer when using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT in 10g

Question

Hello All,
When I try to send my report output to a file from my form(10g), I get 'FRM-41213: Unable to connect to report server'. I can sucessfully send my report to printer when I set the REPORT_DESTYPE to 'PRINTER'.Here is the code from my when-button-pressed trigger.
Am I missing something?
declare
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN                
repid := find_report_object('PWRR_CTRL_TYP_MAINT');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'rep_ipkcaf7vm');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,FILE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'DFLT');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_FILENAME,'C:\TEST1.doc');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
     LOOP
     rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
          msg_alert('Report print successfully', 'I', FALSE);
ELSE
     msg_alert('Error when running report', 'I', FALSE);
END IF;
END;
Thanks,
Anna

Hi,
its because
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_FILENAME,'C:\TEST1.doc');
references the report rdf pr rep file to run, not the output file. The Reports output file is always specified with DESNAME
