In the Ad Performance Report, there is a column called AdState. It shows one of two values: enabled or disabled. We also know that whenever we make a change to an ad's headline or display url (and probably other critical fields as well), that ad receives a new AdId, essentially making it a "new ad." The old AdId will still appear in the Ad Performance report, but its AdState will show up as "disabled." We need to track ad performance from the previous week, so I modified the code to download the Ad Performance report to grab all the data from the last 5 days (definition.dateRangeType = ReportDefinitionDateRangeType.CUSTOM_DATE;) and set the date min and max values to the previous 5 days. So far, so good. Here's the problem... Yesterday, we changed the headline of one of our ads, which essentially gave it a new AdId, rendering the old AdId to an AdState of "disabled." But as I look at the AdState of our Ad Performance Report for that old AdId, it shows the AdState as "disabled" *for the entire week*. That's not right; we just changed the thing yesterday. Why is it showing the ad as disabled for the entire week? I can see why it would be disabled for today, but for all time up until yesterday, that ad should be shown as very much enabled. This is really going to goof up our ability to track our ad performance over time. Is this a bug? Or is this by design? Eric
