    Posted: 12 Mar 2009 at 10:56am
I have a Windows Service written in VB.net that will load a report and email it to a user.  I am using CR XI, SQL 2005.  This has worked previously but all of a sudden, no longer works. 
 
On a Vista machine the windows service just stops with no errors.  On an XP machine, I get "failed to open database connection, database vendor code: 17".  It is running in a domain environment (nor sure if this matters) using SQL Windows Authentication.
 
Interstingly enough, the same code runs (and works) in a Windows Forms application.
 
here is a code snippet:
 

Dim rd As New ReportDocument

rd.Load(ReportName)

For x As Integer = 0 To rd.DataSourceConnections.Count - 1

If (rd.DataSourceConnections(x).DatabaseName = "AssetTracker") Then

rd.DataSourceConnections(x).SetConnection(gstrBackEnd, "AssetTracker", True)

End If

Next

Any help is appreciated!
