Error 3014 in Crystal Reports 8.5 1

[heresahandle]

I'm using Crystal Reports 8.5 and keep getting "Btrieve error status: 3014" when I try to refresh my data.

I'm new to Crystal Reports, so I don't really know what other type of info you'd need to help me.

Please specify what I would need to post here...or maybe this error is generic enough for someone to have an answer already.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Are you using WinNT? If so see the link below.

A 3014 means:

3014: The MicroKernel router cannot find an engine.
The MicroKernel router could not complete the operation because it did not find an engine (local or remote) that could process the operation. Possible causes include:
[ul]
[li]The target network operating system is not available.[/li]
[li]The target engine is not available.[/li]
[/ul]
In a Windows 3.x environment, you are using a shared drive name that contains a space. To resolve the condition, remove the space from the shared drive name. For example, if you connect to a server named "D Drive", change the share name to "D_Drive".

What this means is that your Report is probably trying to access data on a drive (most likely local) that doesn't have a Pervasive engine.

I'm not using Windows NT, I'm using Windows 2000 Pro. That way I can distribute my report to other clients (if you use a WinXP machine to create the reports you may get some compatibility problems)

I installed the client version of Pervasive SQL V8 on my local machine. Then I had to copy our data files to my local workstation because I connect through Citrix.

I have the data in a folder on my local C: drive. Would this be the drive that needs the Pervasive engine on it? Could NTFS permissions be keeping my report from accessing those files?

The data must be on a machine where the engine is running. Permissions isn't causing the 3014. It might cause other errors. If you only installed the Pervasive "Client", then the data needs to be on a remote server where the server engine is running and your report needs to point to that data (either through paths or ODBC DSNs depending on your report).
If you have the data local on C:, and only have the client, you don't have an engine to access the data, hence the 3014.
