Here's an odd one.

Environment:
VB.NET Winform
Visual Studio 2008
.NET framework 2.0
Crystal Reports 2008
ODBC connection to SQL Server 2000 SP4

I have three reports, living in the same directory. They are essentially identical, except for the grouping. All three run successfully within Crystal reports.

From a report viewer Winform in VS, two of the three run. As I am dealing with a small data set, the reports render quickly. On the third report, There is a long pause when the report viewer form opens, then I finally get an error:


"Failed to open the connection.

CallReportByExtension {58F5C135-7BA3-4215-898A-DADA6C7DAD9C}.rpt

I was initially getting similar errors on all three reports, before changing the datasource location to my ODBC connection. I have double-checked the location, verified the database, etc.

What am I doing wrong? I can provide the VB code if requested, but since the other two reports work properly, I doubt it's code. Or I could send the .rpt files in question. I do know that I am passing the report name and path correctly to the report viewer form.

As I am about to kick my monitor through the window and become a street denizen, I would greatly appreciate any help that would be offered.

Thanks,

Mike Beckner

Were you able to resolve your issue? I am having the same issue, with the exception is that no report is working on one computer, yet the reports and applications work on all other computers in the domain. The one machine not working is a Windows 7 Professional. I have the application working on other Windows 7 Machines without a problem. I have profiled the SQL server and the report is not even attempting to connect to the SQL server.

Help
