An issue I seem to be unable to resolve (Crystal Reports)

[SolShapiro]

I have inherited an application that uses the "old" Crystal Reports 4.6 OCX (circa VB 5.0).

I seem to be unable to open any of the reports on my Windows 2000 workstation - "Unable to Load File" error.

I am able to view the reports on a workstation that has Crystal Reports 8.0 installed.

The client does not want any modifications to the reports, just some improved functionality in the data gathering and updating (which is done with the VB app on SQL-Server 2000).

Using PDW of VB 6.0 I can create a setup but the error of "Missing DLL file" persists. It (the application) does not tell me which file(s) is/are missing.

The error is as follows: The following error occurred: Error Number 20525, With Error Description as: Unable to load report., in the Module: frmStat, procedure: cmdPrint2_Click

I am loath to install a full fledged Crystal Reports 8.0 on a client workstation. It is an overkill for this project (besides - the client does not wish to pay for it).

Would anyone be aware of a list of DLL's that one should include with the Crystal.OCX? That would allow me to find out what I am missing, and at least restart my testing.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Sol.
