         8 . The system in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein said machine-readable code of the centralized casino patron activity server configured to cause said processor to generate a second version of said report in an XML format. 
     
     
         9 . The system in accordance with  claim 8 , wherein said output causes said display to display at least the portion of said report containing said error in said XML format adjacent to said portion of said report in a user readable format. 
     
     
         10 . The system in accordance with  claim 9 , wherein said portion of said report in XML format is displayed in a first window and said portion of said report in user readable format is displayed in a second window. 
     
     
         11 . The system in accordance with  claim 8 , wherein a line of said report in XML format containing said error is generally horizontally aligned with said portion of said form where said error exists as displayed in said user readable format.
