SYMPTOMS

When you use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services or SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services to generate HTML reports in Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005, some reports may generate an error message that is similar to the following:

There is an error in XML document (line, position). ' ', hexadecimal value 0x01, is an invalid character. Line, position position.
