Unable to create parts list

In all my years of creating parts lists in assembly drawings, I have never had the error shown in the attached file when trying to create a parts list.  The error shows when I select a view.  It reads: "The selected file or drawing view, <file name>, does not contain valid reference information for table creation."  Sometimes I have received the notification that the BOM is disabled, I enable it, and the parts list is created.  I have confirmed the BOM is enabled in this assembly file.  I haven't had any luck searching the forums or using the online help. 

 

I tried to create a parts list for another assembly that I have recently created a parts list for and got the same error message, so perhaps it is not the assembly file, but Inventor. 

 

Using Inventor 2019.

 

Suggestions welcomes.  Thanks.

You pressed the "General Table" button and not "Parts List" button..

Well, that's embarasing.  May be time for my nap, and time to retire. 

 

Thanks, mcgyver.
