Hi,

I am using visual studio 2005 and CRYSTAL REPORTS 11 to print some reports.I have WINDOWS XP in my machine.The problem arises when i install the application in a WINDOWS SERVER 2008 machine.The printable reports which have a preprinted stationary and therefore need to define a custom paper size, are not getting the correct paper size.I searched a lot but found no solution.Then i installed .net in a server with WINDOWS SERVER 2008 and built my application there.This time it worked correctly.
So far i followed this path.Now i am planning to move to .net 2008 from 2005.So i have to install again .net 2008 in the WINDOWS 2008 server.My question is if there is any way around to solve the issue so that i dont have to build the application in the server.If i change my system OS from XP to anything else (can not install WINDOWS SERVER 2008), will it work ?

I think you may have a bit of a bigger problem - Crystal XI does not integrate into VS 2008.  VS 2008 comes with Crystal 10 integrated into it and Crystal 2008 with work with it, but not Crystal XI.  Crystal 10 will read Crystal XI files, but you will not have access to any features that are in XI that weren't in 10.

I suspect that there are some differences in some of the standard .NET 2.0 files between Windows Server 2008 and earlier versions of Windows that are causing your problem. If you upgrade your project to .NET 3.0 or 3.5 with the upgrade to Visual Studio, you may not have this same problem - but I don't have access to Windows 2008 to be able to tell you for sure.
