using vb6, visual installer 1.1 and crystal 8.5 i made a install package; i tested it in my machine and it does print, but, in any other, does not
the event log file states: Invalid directory
what am i doing wrong?

thanks in avance

Sounds to me like the path to the printer you specified on the machine you built your app in does not exist on the machine/machines you installed it on. I deduce this from

event log file states: Invalid directory

Check to see what string path you are using for your print event, and make sure that directory/path exists on your target machines.

hi
thanks for answering, and so quickly!

in fact i'v no path at all in both places; i'm inclined to database location, odbc or similar problem
dont know what to do...

Hmmm...Possible to post your code? I might not be able to help much, but at least with something to go by we stand a chance.

not sure if it is this what you want:
If Button.Index = 3 Then
CrystalReport1.StoredProcParam(0) = cboDisciplina.Text
CrystalReport1.StoredProcParam(1) = Mid(cboEpoca.Text, 1, 4)
CrystalReport1.StoredProcParam(2) = orsTurmas!id
CrystalReport1.StoredProcParam(3) = lstPeriodo.Text
CrystalReport1.PrintReport
End If

and the full log:
09/14/06, 21:51:37, 4, 0, :Invalid directory.

Hi! Any idea what this string returns?

CrystalReport1.StoredProcParam(1) = Mid(cboEpoca.Text, 1, 4)

I know it will give you a four character string starting at position 1 of cboEpoca.Text (which I assume to be a combo box) so I thought I would ask. What do the four chars signify?

Also, is this the line you think it bombs on?

CrystalReport1.PrintReport
