While in my adwords account, if I click on Reporting And Tools --> Reports -->Create a new Report, all of the available reports are greyed out - I can't select any.

If I do click the generate report button, I get the following message:
We're sorry, but we're unable to process this request. Some of the possible reasons for this include:

- Trying to view a report that no longer exists.
- Trying to view a report that doesn't belong to you.
- Trying to download a report that has not finished running.


Is this because Google hates me personally? Or is there a technical reason for this.

found this when in account
We're updating AdWords reporting. As a result, some reports are no longer available in the Report Center. By creating new reports from the Campaigns tab you can find and act on advanced statistics more quickly.

You have to generate reports from the Campaign section now. Here's Google's post regarding the change: [adwords.blogspot.com...]

Thanks! Silly me, clicking the big report button instead of that tiny 10 pixel by 10 pixel button with a squiggly on it. I'd have never figured that out on my own.

The change has been in effect for quite a while. I loved the old way. I had them set for great info but Google iced that. You access them from the Dimensions column.
