Brya #1 / 6	"server not yet opened" error I get a "server not yet opened" error after installing a vb app to a users pc. The reports work fine from my development pc. I am assuming there is a missing .dll or .ocx. any ideas? thanks... Bryan

Henri #2 / 6	"server not yet opened" error we have the same shit, but only when the installation PC has another system that also includes Crystal Reports. if you unistall the other system, ours work fine (again...). i've sent a message to our tech support, hopefully i'll get an answer today (or our 'field workers' go mad. I have tried to install and register the craxdrt.dll, crviewer.dll, cruflud.dll, msadodc.ocx which are the ones required by CrystalViewer during runtime but no effect. You can try to put these on the machine (win\system or winnt\system32 folder) and register them in the registry. Doesn't work for me, but could work for you...?!? I'll get back with more tips.... /H Quote: > I get a "server not yet opened" error after installing > a vb app to a users pc. The reports work fine > from my development pc.

Gabriel Michau #3 / 6	"server not yet opened" error We are also having this problem on about 10% of our clients computers. Since we deply to 50 000+ users, make the calculation. The problem come and goes everytime, and we've never been able to identify exactly what's wrong with this. Seagate is not taking it's developers seriously enough - I guess we'll have to consider using something else.

Henri #5 / 6	"server not yet opened" error Got some info on the "Server not yet opened" problem. My stuff is actually solved when I (on advise from support) checked which dll:s are loaded by the different apps. One dll (p2sodbc.dll) is opened by both apps AND was present on two places on the HardDisk as well as in the registry. I copied the latest dll to both places on the HardDisk and then it worked fine. It is supposed to be a problem with different 'versions' of the same dll:s I also tried another solution by erasing one entry from the registry because registry was pointing at two files in different folders. I kept the reference to the latest version of the file. When I rebooted the machine and tried to run my app, and it worked as well... I'm gonna try at a customer now, I certainly hope that it works. Try this, you might like the results. Also check other dll:s than the one that did it for me if this trick doesn't solve your problem..... Good Luck. /Henrik Quote: > >We are also having this problem on about 10% of our clients computers. > Since > >we deply to 50 000+ users, make the calculation.

Henri #6 / 6	"server not yet opened" error Yipee ey... The stuff went great at the customer side, everyone is happy. We copied the latest version of the dll to bot places on the harddisk. A problem we have struggled with for the whole fall is solved.... I used a program that i recieved from our technical support department. The program takes a snapshot of the current situation of dll-calls and processes when you want it. I can mail it to you, I guess (if you dont tell the our tech support)... I'll mail it not post it here... oK ? /henrik Quote: > oh by the way - when you say "... > >dll:s are loaded by the different apps.
