Runtime error. Missing or out- of date export DLL

[herci]

Hi everybody!

I have developed an application in VB6 and all my reports are in Crystal Report 8.5... I also export the report to a .doc document .. I run the .exe of the application in another computer.. but when I try to export my report in crystal from vb to Word, it cause an error...

"Runtime error 2147190548( 800478ec) Missing or out - of date export DLL"
I believe that an dll is missing.. but I don't know which is it.. or actually what is the error cause..


What is causing this error.. if is a missing dll .. How can I know which it is?


Thanks a lot
any kind of information will be appreciated

If you are trying to export crystal to word I believe you need to look for 'U2fwordw.dll'.

Most of crystals export dlls begin with 'U2f'. I am not sure what it stands for however. For example 'U2fxls.dll' exports to excel, U2fhtml.dll exports to html, etc.

Crystals help site can give you more information.

1st idea : see If you didn't declare an outer dll by a "Declare" instruction. If so, verify that the dll is present on the other computer.
2nd : Are the Os the same on the 2 machines (dev and test) ?
3rd : did you use software packaging and deployement tool to install the exe on the test machine ? Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)

Follow Targol's third suggestion. Use the PDW to create a setup package. Crystal reports needs/wants over a dozen dlls to run properly. Thanks and Good Luck!
