Workbook funs from Disco Desktop but errors out in PLUS

Question

Hi,
Let me start by saying that I read the previous thread on this topic from September 2008 but have not yet found a solution.
There is an existing report of Unpaid Invoices that uses folders from Accounts Payable (AP Payment Schedules, Invoices, Suppliers, Supplier Sites) and another custom folder to get another field.
I was asked to add another worksheet that has several of the fields from the first worksheet, and in addition, to add bank information.
I did not have the Bank Branches folder available, but I found that when I added the Bank Code from the Bank Accounts folder, I can then access fields from Bank Branches. This is what I did and it all works in DESKTOP.
When I went to check the report in PLUS (from where the users will be working) I could not open the report (in either worksheet) but got an error "Join configuration cannot be resolved. Reason: more than 1 of the detail folders uses non-aggregated items so attempt to open workbook failed."
In reference to the previous thread, both AggregationBehavior in DESKTOP and PLUS is defined as 1.
As to fan trap, I can check it in DESKTOP (disabled) , but I don't know how I can check it in PLUS because I can't get into the report.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Tamir,
Okay. Things are working now. When you had mentioned that a custom folder defined with a 1-1 join was a possible solution, I, once again, checked out what existed.
In Accounts Payable there exists a join between Bank Accounts and Bank Branches that is 1-1.
In our company's BA, there also exists a folder based on Bank Accounts and another one based on Bank Branches. The join is also 1-1 BUT the master is the Bank Branches rather than the Bank Accounts (which actually seems more logical to me).
What I did was to join our company's Bank Branches (as Master) with Accounts Payable's Bank Accounts (as Detail) and everything works.
Of course I would never change the already existing join in Accounts Payable although I don't really understand the choice of master-detail. I'm sure there was a reason for the decision at the time.
Thank you very, very much.
