Export to Excel produces files of 0 bytes long

[vjee]

Hi,
I'm having a little trouble with exporting Reports to Excel. I'm trying to export it from the Crviewer. I'm using Visual Basic 6 and Crystal Reports 8.0 in a Windows 2000 environment. The neccessary dll's for export are distributed.
The weird thing is that after deploying my application, the export works 1 time. The second time, a 0-byte file is saved. I tried the latest hotfix and again it worked 1 time. And this on all PC's. I'm getting the dialogbox where I can choose the export options but it won't export data. It seems something changes somewhere on the system after exporting.

I tried the user forum at Crystal Desicions and noticed I'm not the only one with this problem. Does anyone have an alternative (except upgrading to v8.5 or v9)?

TIA
Bart

I must have missed that article during my search. Going to give it a go. Already downloaded the hotfix.

Thx Mark!
