Hi, I've made an executable from a rpt file. When I try to run the exe, I get the message "Cannot open control file". Please advise. Thanks, Dan.
 
I'd like to add that I changed the location of the database in the main report and the sub report. Then, I made an executable. The original executable runs fine. Dan.
 
The issues was resolved. Originaly when I changed the main report, Crystal asked if I wanted to propagate the changes to the subreport. I said yes, but as mentioned the control file wouldn't open. I purged the main report and subreport and replaced this with fresh copies. When I changed the database source in the main report, I replied No to Crystals propagation request. I then changed the database source in the subreport and compiled. Executable opened report without error. Dan.
