Automation Error '-2147417848 (80010108)

[Guest_imported]

The company I work for produces bespoke software to a specific market.
The software uses Access 97 as its database platform and is written in C++.
Crystal Reports (Vs 7 with latest MR1) is used for reports generation.

The package is operated over various network and operating systems like Windows NT, Terminal Server, Citrix, Winframe, Windows 2000, Novell and Windows 95.

This particular problem appears only to be prevalent on systems where the network is Novell and the client PC's are using Windows 95.

We have made sure, at sites where this error is happening, that they have the latest Novell server and client versions. However this has no bearing on the error.

We have checked the following files to ensure correct versions
CRYSTL32.ocx v6.1.0.609 (6.1.0.000)
CRPE32.dll v7.0.100.15 (7.0.1.100)
CRPAIG32.dll v5,0,0,2 (5,0,0,2)
CRXLAT32.dll v7.0.0.0 (7.0.0.0)


It seems this automation error -2147417848 (80010108) relates to either Access or Crystal not being able to start a service in terms of windows calls.

We have not been able to find either an answer or a fix. Any assistance you are able to offer will be greatly appreciated.

I am using Crystal with Oracle and Sql Server. I too got this error I believe. I think that is due to empty subreports. After going back and forth with the Seagate people for some time, they suggested that I turn off any processing on the server in the options box. This of course turns off using indexes as well unfortunately. This seemed to fix my problem.

Good luck. I will follow this thread in case you find out something different.

I've had this problem with VB. In my case I had 3 different forms, each with its own crystal reports control.
Depending on the order I called for the reports and how many times, I could garauntee failure ! After some trial and error, I fixed the problem by having only 1 crystal control on the main form and having a global reference to it for any other form which used it.
