Hello VB lovers:

I got a problem with Crystal Report.  I am making a distribution disk
of my application.  Once I install it on another system with no VB
installed, and when I try to launch Crystal Report, I ran into the
"Unable to Load Report" error.  What is this mean?  Does it mean that
it cannot load Crystal Report itself or something else?  
I am using VB 3.0 with Jet Engine 2.0 and the following files are in
my distribution disks:
THREED.VBX
TRUEGRID.VBX
CSCOMBO.VBX
CRYSTAL.VBX
PENCNTRL.VBX
CRPE.DLL
CRXLATE.DLL
COMMDLG.DLL
VBDB300.DLL
MSAJT112.DLL
MSAJT200.DLL
PDBJET.DLL
PDIRJET.DLL
PDCTJET.DLL
MSAES110.DLL
MSABC200.DLL
EXE files
Database files

Can someone help?

I do not see the actual  .rpt files in your distribution list.  I am
not sure which version of Crystal you have, but in some releases
Crystal creates a subdirectory under ...\Windows which contains all of
the DLL's etc. that Crystal needs to work properly.  Some of the DLL's
deal with sending reports via mail and other functions that you may
not use in your environment, but it is safe to distribute all of them.

Another common problem is within the report itself.  If you are using
an Access DB, be sure that the database location is marked "Same as
Report".  This means that the rpt file and mdb file are supposed to be
in the same place.  Normally, Crystal will initially have a complete
path name of the develoment machine included in the report.  In many
cases when you modify the report, it will change the name back to the
full path name, so be sure to check it each time you change your
report.
