Crystal 9 crashes while linking to Exchange

[jontvr]

A weird problem:
I have a report that has run quite happily for ages, and uses Exchange as it's datasource.
I tried to run it yesterday and it's telling me that the source has changed. The source hasn't changed, but I proceed through the field mapping dialog anyway, and Crystal consistantly crashes and shutsdown everytime I'm done mapping. This is happening on Crystal 9/XP/Outlook2003 & Crystal9/W2K/Outlook2000.

Anyone else comes across problems linking to Exchange?

That sounds ominous...

Nothing has changed, yet the report starts blowing up.

Do you have any other Exchange reports that started failing? Crystal does occasionally corrupt reports...

Perhaps there was an update to the Exchange Server?

You might try the service pack:

-k

Yeah, tried all the service packs, without luck. I tried writing another report, but Crystal just refuses to work with Exchange. I'm going to look into the mapi side of things next.
