Runtime Error 20997 using Crystal Control in VB6 1

[darkman0101]

This is probably a long shot but, has anyone encounted sparodic errors with the code 20997 when calling CrystalReport.action = 1 in vb6?

I have checked that the path to the report is correct an accessable and have tried using mapped drives and UNC paths, all to no avail. this error still occurs from time to time.

I am using crystl32.ocx (file version 6.1.0.609) in VB6 sp3 on Win nt 4.0 sp 6

Thanks in advance.

I ran into this error just once; the same report printed OK moments later. Seagate's KB listed 5 possible reasons:

1. OLE2 files not being registered
2. Bad SelectionFormula (control characters in string).
3. Invalid ReportFileName value (invalid path).
4. 16-bit CRPE connected to a 32-bit ODBC data source
5. Report with imbedded chart but SSCSDK32.DLL not distributed

None of these seemed to apply in my case but maybe they'll trigger a lightbulb for you.

We've encounted the same problem and we are still trying to find a solution. Have you found something?

I encountered this error 20997 today, has anybody found a solution ?

I am using a similiar configuration like darkman0101.

I get this error on one record, but the report prints fine from within CR. All other records print fine within the VB application as intended.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Moben.
