Hi, this is my first post and first real attempt at CR XI but I have made two reports just how I want them and when I go to publish them with the wizard and select to import a file, I can choose pdf, html, xls, etc. but NOT rpt.

It's weird that it wouldn't support its own file type... So I went to try a workaround and using my fully licensed web report server, I chose to import a directory with the rpt's I made, then it asked what file type it was and I went for other/application all the way through the menu until finally it says that I'm not licensed.. I have client keys and server keys and no go.

Has anyone had trouble publishing RPT's through Report Wizard too? I need help and I thank you in advance.

Quick background to answer your question:
I'm using Crystal Reports XI and Crystal Reports Server standalone and one of the apps is 'Publishing Wizard'. I go through the wizard and it asks what files I would like to publish. Among the types are PDF, XLS, CSV, etc. but not RPT. I choose *.* and select the report I made. I choose BINARY as the file type when it asks and get to the last step when it barks about a license which I believe is a file-type limitation Crystal Reports puts on it's licenses. Weird. On to .NET:

I tried Visual Studio 2005 with all of the bells and whistles like included Crystal Reports templates and wizards. I make a Crystal Reports Web Application which will run on the standalone test server VS offers but when I copy the files over to my Win2003 server I get more unforeseen failures than my future kids might be.

Now the debugger says:

" Server Error in '/' Application." then proceeds to pick apart my ASPX file that VS made line by line.

Sorry for the long post, but this is the page VS made (short and sweet):
