When trying to generate an ESRA (via reporting) for member ID 132140295, I get the following error (regularly since yesterday). His last name has a space in the middle, could that be the issue? I do not get the error on other Scouts in the Troop.

@DouglasBailey1 how exactly are you trying to run the report?  
By Member # and Last Name?  
Are you clicking from the Scout Profile?

By Member # and Last Name in the Reports menu. I didn’t realize you could do it from the Scout profile, but that works correctly for this Scout, so it’s a bug in the reporting function.
